Terence Crawford reveals moment he told mother of his children he was having baby with another woman
Terence 'Bud' Crawford may have a perfect 41-0 record, but the four-division boxing champion still knows how to take a loss.
'I'm just a man,' the 36-year-old told Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast in a resurfaced clip from April 23.
The retired NFL star and Pro Football Hall of Famer was interviewing Crawford about his long-time love, Alindra, with whom he shares six of his seven children.
And the seventh?
'Last one not by her,' said Crawford, who is currently preparing for his highly anticipated September 13 super middleweight bout with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
The admission led Sharpe and Crawford to recreate the moment he told his high school sweetheart of his infidelity.
'Walk me through it,' Sharpe demanded. 'How you go home, "Hey baby… I bought you something… What's going on?"'
Sharpe then switched parts, taking on the roll of Crawford's long-time girlfriend: 'Bud, what you got to tell me?'
As Crawford recalled, he didn't lie but rather admitted defeat.
'N*****, got one on the way,' Crawford remembered telling Alindra.
'Just like that, Bud?' Sharpe asked.
The normally quiet Crawford launched into a straightforward explanation.
'You can't lie. How you gonna lie?' he asked. 'You better tell her now because it's gonna be worse when the baby comes.'
As for his children, Crawford said he won't let them box or partake in the Omaha native's favorite spectator sport, football.
'No boxing, no football,' he added.
Asked why he'd deny his children the chance to play combat sports, Crawford had an answer ready: 'That's why I did it, so they don't have to.'
But what if one of his sons grows to be a hulking 6-foot-3 athlete?
'He's not 6-3 because I'm not 6-foot and his mamma's not 6-foot,' the 5-foot-8 Crawford told Sharpe. 'So he ain't gonna be 6-nothing. He's lucky if he's gonna be 5-8.'
While Crawford does enjoy taking his sons fishing, at least one has emerged as a high-level wrestler in Nebraska, a regional hot spot for the sport.
Sharpe's interview with Crawford aired days after he was named as a defendant in a sexual assault lawsuit by a woman claiming to be his former girlfriend. Although Sharpe did offer the woman $10 million to settle the dispute, his lawyer Lanny Davis has conceded, the Broncos legend has maintained his innocence and has vowed to fight the case in court.
Crawford will face Alvarez on September 13 in what is likely the biggest bout in either champion's respective careers. The Las Vegas bout will be aired on Netflix, which previously drew 108 million viewers to see a 58-year-old Mike Tyson lose to former YouTube star Jake Paul.

Travis Kelce completes mad dash from Cannes to Kansas City for first day of Chiefs minicamp
The distance from Cannes to Kansas City encompasses eight time zones and nearly 8,000 miles, neither of which was enough to keep Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from the opening of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. The 35-year-old NFL superstar and his brother Jason were among the invited guests at the Amazon Port Panel in Cannes, where the Kelces dutifully promoted their highly successful podcast, New Heights. Less than 24 hours later, Kelce was back to work at his other job preparing for the upcoming 2025 NFL campaign. Both Kelce and newly re-signed right guard Trey Smith mostly skipped organized team activities last month before making their mandatory appearances on Tuesday. The only absentee in Kansas City was tight end Tre Watson, according to local media. The mandatory minicamp will continue through Thursday. Unlike last year, when he and girlfriend Taylor Swift couldn't stay out of the spotlight, Travis has enjoyed a much quieter break from NFL duties this time around, with the couple keen to unwind together away from the cameras in recent months. Welcome back Travis Kelce! Picking up right where he left off. The boys are back! #ChiefsKingdom — Taylor Burr (@TaylorBurr10) June 17, 2025 He will be desperate to enter the 2025 season in optimum shape after putting up some of the worst individual numbers of his career in 2024, which led many to believe his career was coming to an end. However, after admitting he was weighing up his future, the Chiefs icon confirmed to Pat McAfee at the end of February that he is not hanging up his cleats just yet. Kelce recently explained his reasoning to Jason on New Heights: 'I think the biggest thing is that I f***ing love playing the game of football. I still feel I can play at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. 'I don't think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past. 'I want to give it a good run. I've got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me. I love so many people in Kansas City, both in that facility and the community and it's home for me now. 'I don't want to leave that life yet. I put in a lot of hard work and focus into being the best I can be for Kansas City and last year it didn't end well for us. I feel there's a responsibility in me to play out the contract I initially signed to give the organization everything that I've got and that's what I'm going to do man.' Of course, when he does hang up his cleats, Kelce can always just focus on podcasting. As he and Jason explained in Cannes, the idea behind New Heights was to give their audience a window into their family dynamic. 'I think we've always wanted to show everybody our brotherhood, our family, how we're in this crazy football world together supporting each other from different sides of the country. 'It was an opportunity to honestly spend more time together,' Travis said. Jason then admitted: 'we would go months in the season without really talking to each other.'

Joe Torre joins AL coaching staff for All-Star Game
June 17 - Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre, who guided the New York Yankees to four World Series rings, will be an honorary coach for the American League at the All-Star Game on July 15 in Atlanta, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday. Torre, who turns 85 on July 18, will join current Yankees skipper Aaron Boone's AL staff along with Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt. The National League All-Stars are managed by Dave Roberts of the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and his staff. Honorary coaches for the NL are Brian Snitker, manager of the host Atlanta Braves, and Miami Marlins first-year skipper Clayton McCullough, who spent the previous four seasons as the Dodgers' first base coach. Torre, who works for MLB as a special assistant to the commissioner, managed 29 seasons and ranks fifth all-time with 2,326 wins. A two-time AL Manager of the Year, Torre was at the helm for the New York Mets (1977-81), Braves (1982-84), St. Louis Cardinals (1990-95), Yankees (1996-2007) and Dodgers (2008-10). He was voted into the Hall of Fame as a manager in 2014 by the Expansion Era Committee. As a player, he suited up for the Braves in both Milwaukee (1960-65) and Atlanta (1966-68), including five straight All-Star selections from 1963-67. Vogt, who played for the Braves in 2021, was voted the AL Manager of the Year in 2024 after leading the Guardians to the Central Division crown and the American League Championship Series in his first year. --Field Level Media

Stone-faced Bianca Censori makes sensational return to the spotlight in just a nude thong bodysuit on rare LA outing
BIANCA Censori has made a sensational return to the spotlight in just a nude thong bodysuit. Heading out on her own in Los Angeles, Bianca - who has been out of the spotlight for some time - has made an epic comeback, sans her husband Kanye West. 8 8 8 The Aussie model, 30, looked a little stony faced in some new snaps where she could be seen donning yet another seriously risque outfit. Bianca, who is the head architect for her husband's company YEEZY, was seen wearing a plunging nude bodysuit and some white furry boots. Ditching a bra for the occasion, Bianca's nipples were visible through the nude bodysuit, which also had a plunging neckline. The tiny garment, which was almost the same color as Bianca's skin tone, was super skimpy and revealing. Looking sensational as she walked around town, the wife of controversial rapper Ye left little to the imagination. She could be seen with her raven locks down, wavy and in a voluminous style. Cascading over her shoulders, Bianca's hair looked sensational as it framed her face. She wore some dark shades covering her eyes, and kept her mouth in a perfect pout shape as she walked on the sidewalk. Her expression looked stony and stoic, with her looking more serious than usual. BIAN-KIM, IS THAT YOU? In some snaps, Bianca even resembled her husband's ex-wife slightly, Kim Kardashian. Bianca Censori shows off her bare butt as she goes bottomless in just a crop top, belt and heels for new photoshoot In-keeping with her love of unusual style, Bianca wore ultra fluffy boots despite wearing very little clothing. Bianca wore the racy ensemble as she was heading to beauty spa in Los Angeles. She was at her beauty appointment for over an hour before leaving solo. Bianca was then seen driving a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo 4S as she headed away from the salon. 8 8 8 8 BIANCA THE BUSINESS WOMAN This solo outing comes after we revealed earlier this month that Bianca has started her own business empire. The U.S. Sun revealed Bianca recently set up her first U.S. company, Bianca Censori Inc. It was registered last month with the state of California. She's also registered her full name Bianca Censori as an Australian firm, based in Alphington, an affluent Melbourne suburb where her parents currently live. She is listed as CEO and secretary. There's also a clue as to the nature of the firm, as the chief financial officer is listed as Hussein Lalani, who specializes in selling cosmetic treatments. Hussein founded Zensa, which sells beauty procedures such as a DIY Brazilian wax kit and microblading.
