We have received word that Beltway trainer David Crawford passed away on October 18th from cancer. In the mid-1990's, Mr. Crawford was the trainer for local favorite Teddy "Two-Gun" Reid and helped him achieve NABF and USBA titles in the super lightweight and welterweight divisions. Reid also challenged for the interim WBO Welterweight title.
After leaving the sport briefly, Mr. Crawford came back and worked with boxers Dodie Boy Penalosa, Jr. and, most recently, Alexandru Marin, the current IBO Inter-Continental Super Flyweight champion.
Services for Mr. Crawford will be held Tuesday, October 30th at St Luke Catholic Church, located at 4925 East Capitol Street in Southeast Washington, DC. The wake will be from 9 AM to 11 AM and the service starts at 11 AM. Burial will be private.
