TERENCE CRAWFORD furiously called out Errol Spence Jr and told his welterweight rival to stop using their promotional differences as excuses.
The two 147lbs kings have circled each other ever since Crawford, 32, moved up from super-lightweight and became the WBO champion in 2018.

But WBC and IBF holder Spence, 29, insisted Bob Arum promoted Crawford would have to join his “side of the street” and work with Al Haymon’s PBC stable for the super-fight to materialise.
In their latest online spat, three-weight champion ‘Bud’ told Spence to ignore what his promoter wants and “sign the contract” to fight him instead.
Crawford tweeted: “So what’s been the hold up homie? When I came to the division y’all all said I had to get a title first.
“Now you changed yo mind and talking about wrong side of the street. So I’m just here for another excuse what’s up.
“I’m ready when you ready. Matter of fact I been ready before I even had a 147 LB fight.
“Like I been said you got these people fooled but not me when ever u get back right I’ll smoke you all you gotta do is sign the contract next and I’m on yo head.
“Keep defending him because I’m tell all y’all now and I mean what I say when that day come when I knock him all I want all y’all to keep that same energy because he gone cry in the car he wasn’t built for this s*** I got over here just watch me show the world.
“And stop using the f***ing promoters, managers and advisors for that weak a** excuse y’all doing they work for us y’all dumb mf if you really want a fight you tell them i don’t give two f***s that’s who I want to fight. let yo nuts drop you say you yo own boss.”
Spence became unified welterweight champion in September after he dethroned Shawn Porter for the WBC belt in a Fight of The Year contender.
But a horrific high-speed car crash in Dallas in October left the Texan hospitalised, and despite somehow avoiding life-threatening injuries his return to the ring against Danny Garcia in January was cancelled.
Crawford made two defences of his WBO crown in 2019, against Amir Khan in April and then a knockout of Egidijus Kavaliauskas in December.
