Reports have emerged indicating that 'Bud' was held at gunpoint by Omaha police in the early hours of Sunday morning. The police pulled Crawford over for suspected reckless driving just hours after his victory parade celebrating his recent win over Canelo Alvarez in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska.

What started as a routine traffic stop escalated when a police officer spotted a gun on the driver’s side floorboard. As a result, all four occupants of the vehicle, including Crawford, were ordered out at gunpoint.

In a post-fight interview, 'Bud' emphasized the importance of his victory over Alvarez. Declaring himself as the face of boxing, Crawford said:

"This is the top of the top. Canelo is an all-time great, like I said before. He's the last one. There's no more Canelos, there's no more. So when you look around, you say I'm that Canelo. I'm the face of boxing now. I'm the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, like I've always been."

Meanwhile, Alvarez experienced the third defeat of his professional career. Before losing to Crawford, he had been defeated by Dmitry Bivol and Floyd Mayweather.
