The nomination for Best Boxer has sparked a wave of support from Jordan, highlighting a unique friendship that transcends both the boxing ring and the silver screen.
A Hollywood-Boxing Alliance
Terence Crawford, a revered figure in boxing with an impressive 40-0 record, has found an unexpected ally in Michael B. Jordan. Known for their collaboration in the ‘Creed’ film series, Jordan has not only shared screen time with Crawford but has also shown genuine camaraderie and support outside of their cinematic endeavors.
Crawford recently urged his fans to vote for him in the ESPY Awards, posting on Instagram: “Make sure ya’ll go vote for the #P4P 👑 Votes open until 7/11 on ESPN.com/espys. Link in bio.” Jordan, quick to respond, left three fire emojis in the comments section—a gesture that speaks volumes about his admiration and encouragement for his friend.

The Road to Recognition
Despite the nomination, questions linger about Crawford’s eligibility for the award due to his recent inactivity in the ring. The Omaha native, who hasn’t fought this year, faces uncertainty regarding his performance and the impact it will have on securing the prestigious accolade. However, Crawford is slated to face Israil Madrimov on August 3 for the WBA junior middleweight title, offering him a chance to sway opinions and solidify his claim.
Jordan’s support adds a personal touch to Crawford’s journey, showcasing solidarity beyond the realm of sports. Their bond, forged through mutual respect and shared experiences, underscores the power of friendship in bolstering athletes during pivotal moments in their careers.
“Michael B. Jordan is very talented. He’s very skilled, he’s athletic. But I can’t go out on a limb and say he’ll be this type of fighter.
