TERENCE CRAWFORD takes on Errol Spence Jr in what promises to be an epic undisputed welterweight title fight later this month.
‘Bud’ Crawford holds the WBO title at 147lbs while Spence Jr has the WBA, IBF and WBC straps in his possession.
The pair have been in negotiations for this fight since the middle of 2022, and fans have wanted to see them collide for years.
Well they’ll finally get their wish as two of boxing’s pound-for-pound stars get ready to do battle in Las Vegas.
Spence hasn’t fought in over a year, however, having come through his fight against Yordenis Ugas with flying colours.
