Shawn Porter Announces Retirement from Boxing After TKO Loss to Terence Crawford
Shawn Porter is walking away from boxing.
Porter announced his retirement after Saturday's 10th-round TKO loss to Terence Crawford, the first stoppage of his career.
"I was prepared to announce my retirement tonight, win, lose or draw," Porter told reporters. "Even if it was a draw ... I was not going to do it again. I'm announcing my retirement right now.
"After you've fought everybody at the top, what more could I do? I'm not going to be a gatekeeper; that's not the life I want to live. I never wanted to lead the life of a fighter who fought into his 40s."
