Errol Spence Jr.: record, next fight and profile →
It’s the night before Thanksgiving and Keith Thurman (29-1, 22Kos), the former unified Welterweight World Champion, is at his St. Petersburg, Florida, training facility unleashing his two-fisted power on a heavy bag. In between hammering the bag, he’s naming off future boxing adversaries one by one: Yordenis Ugas, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Manny Pacquiao, Terence Crawford, and Errol Spence.
Among the greatest benefits of the current deal in place between Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) and Fox Sports is the cross promotion that boxing enjoys, especially during National League Football (NFL) games. Errol Spence and Danny Garcia are two boxers who’ve benefited from that collaborative effort, coming from major sports markets that happen to represent one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries. Spence’s Dallas Cowboys and Garcia's Philadelphia Eagles have seen better days, yet both remain deep in the hunt in the mediocre NFC East while the two boxers vie for supremacy in a much stronger welterweight division.
Angel Garcia does not want to hear any excuses if – or as he prefers to put it, when – his son and trainee, Danny Garcia, defeats Errol Spence Jr. in their welterweight title fight on Dec. 5.

Danny Garcia has fully embraced the concept of starting over—right down to the means in which he continues to train for arguably the toughest fight of his 13-year pro career. A chiseled physique complete with an entrenched six-pack has the former two-division champion from Philadelphia looking fight night ready nearly two weeks out from his challenge of unbeaten, unified titlist Errol Spence Jr. (26-0, 21KOs). Their bout takes place December 5, live on Fox Sports Pay-Per-View from AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, near Spence’s Desoto hometown.
It's been just over a year since IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence nearly died in a horrific late-night Ferrari crash -- and the boxer told TMZ Sports how the incident changed him forever.
By Dan Rafael - Top Rank chairman Bob Arum has taken heat for the comments he recently made about losing money on welterweight world titlist Terence Crawford fights and how Crawford, in his view, needs to do a better job bringing attention to himself, but Arum said he doesn’t care about the criticism and stands by his comments. Arum said he is upset because he...
By Jake Donovan - Errol Spence Jr. was barely 40 minutes into his recent media workout when he was told that it was nearly time to shut everything down in order to conduct an interview. It wasn’t what he wanted to hear at the time. He understood the protocol that came with the session, but was more interested in showing viewers rather than telling them that th...
Errol Spence Jr. loves the thought of remaining a Pay-Per-View headliner. With that comes the responsibility of taking on the sport’s best, and the unbeaten, unified welterweight titlist is game for the cause. “Line ‘em up, line ‘em up,” Spence told Premier Boxing Champions’ Ray Flores during a recent open media workout live from his training camp in Dallas.
Terence Crawford wants to fight Errol Spence Jr. He just wants to get paid his fair share more. The welterweight titleholder from Nebraska expressed his dismay with Spence, who recently stated that he believed he deserves a larger portion of the promotional purse, 60/40, in a potential fight. Spence, citing his pay-per-view numbers and the attendance he drew in his fights, believes he has the greater commercial profile, thus he deserves a bigger piece of the pie.
