WATCH: Boxing Star Terrence Crawford’s Daughter Claims Unbelievable Victory Even After Losing a Shoe at Starting Line
History has presented us with plenty of examples of children of famous athletes who shined despite the towering legacies of their parents. One of the most famous instances is that of the daughter of Muhammad Ali, Laila Ali, who retired with 24 wins, including 21 knockouts and no losses. With a knockout-to-win percentage exceeding her father, she has walked in her father’s footsteps and continued his legacy.
Recently, another daughter of a famous boxer is making quite the headlines. This boxer in question is none other than Terence Crawford.
Viral moment for daughter of Terence Crawford
Recently, a video has surfaced where the youngest daughter of Crawford, Lay Lay, can be seen at the starting blocks with other competitors for a 200m race. However, the child loses her right shoe just as the gun goes off.
When Lay Lay realizes what had happened, she turns back to fetch her shoe. By the time she puts it on, her competitors already had a head start of nearly six seconds. But the situation changes as soon as she joins the race and makes an exceptional comeback.

She dashes towards her competitors amidst cheers from the crowd. Lay Lay quickly closes in on her rivals, reducing the gap within seconds. She catches up with the leading opponents by the halfway mark.
It is where things change, and the crowd is left astounded as the young athlete surpasses her opponents and takes the lead. By the end of the race, she dominated the event, finishing more than 5 meters ahead of the next competitor.
Family members of Lay Lay cheered her on for the entirety of the race, but the cheering grew louder as she neared the finish line.
What’s significant about the win?
Competing in a 200m race where the opponents have obtained a six-second head start would be considered a lost cause. However, the youngster did not lose hope and gave it her best shot to come out victorious.
It proves that young Crawford has quite the heart and talent for the sport. With enough training and preparation, she could rise to the top.
