Terence “Bud” Crawford went viral over the weekend after an alleged ex-girlfriend, Lavern Crump, shared several videos of her run-in with the retired undefeated boxing star at Claressa Shields versus Franchon Crews-Dezurn in Detroit.
Omaha radio personality Lavern Crump posted a series of Instagram videos on Feb. 25 addressing a verbal altercation with Crawford before the fight. In clips circulated online, Crawford stands near ringside seats smiling, shrugging his shoulders and folding his arms while looking directly at Crump as she speaks toward him.
Crump disputed the narrative that emerged from what she described as a brief viral clip. “I really hate that I have to come on here to defend myself,” she wrote. “The fact that everyone took a 10 second clip and came up with their own version of what happened is insane.”
She alleged Crawford approached her after initially being “way across the room.” Crump claims he “decided to come back to further taunt me.”
Crump said her passport was inside the Louis Vuitton bag and called his behavior “a damn donkey.” She also criticized Crawford for “allowing his son to get in grown folks business,” saying children should not “talk reckless to adults.”
Crump denied accusations that she was stalking the former welterweight champion, adding sarcastically, “I don’t care what ya’ll say he loves me and I love him… I’m just kidding.”

In a second post, Crump referenced prior legal action. “Let’s talk about how this man took me to court for two whole years,” she wrote, claiming it “cost me tens of thousands of dollars.”
She alleged Crawford “wanted to silence me from letting the world know who he really is.” She also accused him of portraying her as a stalker. In the accompanying clip, Crawford flashes a peace sign and smiles.
Crump concluded with a third post showing what she said was an Oklahoma trademark registration of Crawford’s name. “I didn’t get mad I went and trademarked his name,” she wrote. “I’m from Nebraska I don’t get mad I get even.”
Crawford has not publicly responded to the posts.
