WBC / WBA / IBF world welterweight champion (up to 66.7 kg) American Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) confirmed the successful progress of negotiations on the fight for the “absolute” against compatriot, WBO champion Terence Crawford ( 38-0, 29 KOs).
Earlier it was reported that the fight is going to be held in October, and according to Spence, everything is going to this.
“Now our fight is closer than ever. If it doesn’t happen now, it won’t happen at all,” Errol said. “Now we are much closer than before. I think there will definitely be a fight.”
By the way, Crawford also believes that for the fight “now is the best time.”
This year, Spence has one fight on his account: in April he won the unification against the Cuban WBA champion Yordenis Ugas, stopping him in the 10th round.
Crawford had an extreme duel in November last year, also ahead of schedule and also in the 10th round, stopping ex-champion Sean Porter.
Not so long ago, Mike Tyson called the winner in the battle Spence – Crawford.
