One of the most notable moments of Crawford’s career for Armenian fans was his fight against David Avanesyan in December 2022. On that night, the American successfully defended his WBO welterweight world title, winning by knockout in the sixth round.

However, the bout was followed by controversy. Media outlets and fans discussed rumors regarding the possible use of padding in Crawford’s gloves. It was also reported that Avanesyan’s team was considering legal action against the American boxer. Ultimately, neither the allegations nor the claims were officially confirmed, and the matter did not proceed further.
