Terence Crawford: record, next fight and profile →
Sometimes, the boxing world presents fans with gems. Whether it was the all-out war in 1985 between Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler, the 1978 slugfest between Ken Norton and Larry Holmes, or the three brutal scraps between Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe, sometimes, boxing just delivers.
For some time, WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford was losing hope with making an undisputed fight with WBC, WBA, IBF champion Errol Spence.
As previously reported, unified WBC, WBA and IBF welterweight world champion Errol “The Truth’’ Spence Jr. will take on WBO 147-pound world champion Terence “Bud’’ Crawford for the undisputed welterweight world championship on Saturday, July 29 in a highly anticipated Showtime PPV clash from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford has warned MMA star Francis Ngannou that he's making a big mistake by calling out two of the elite at heavyweight - Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.
Two elite fighters smack-dab in the middle of the primes have apparently left oddsmakers unable to detect a winner. After years of vacillating, both Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. finally immured themselves into a room until they were each satisfied with their fight contracts.
They came in a multitude of forms. Some were taller than others and attempted to box from the outside, while some packed on the muscle and did their best to rough him up on the inside. Still, no matter their physical dimensions and despite their extraneous game plans, Floyd Mayweather, each and every time, left the ring with his perfect record intact.
One week after one of the biggest, and most debated, fights of the year, boxing delivered a flurry of activity on Saturday with three major titles changing hands by the end of the night.
Former three division champion Shane Mosley is slightly leaning in the direction of Terence Crawford in the upcoming undisputed showdown with Errol Spence. On July 29th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the two undefeated welterweights will collide for the WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO world titles in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card.
For the better part of the past half-decade, both Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford have brazenly claimed that they're the welterweight division's leading man. Those thoughts and opinions, of course, could only be settled in one violent way...squaring off in the ring.
Now that their fascinating fight finally has been made, Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have tried to put their welterweight showdown in what they believe is its proper historical context.
