Spence rushed to shout directly at Crawford – rare for him – after his victory over Ugas, and you know that Bud does not just tend to let people say his name unanswered. He was watching, he heard it and yes, he says he is ready:
@ErrolSpenceJr congratulations good battle now becomes the real battle. No more talking, no other end of the road, let’s go !!!!
– Terence Crawford (@terencecrawford) April 17, 2022
“Congratulations, great fight, now the real fight is happening,” Crawford wrote on social media. “No more talking, no more on the side of the road, let’s go!”
The last piece, of course, refers to the long-term inability of Top Rank – when he represented Crawford – and the Premier Boxing Champions to reach an agreement for a Spence match against Crawford, which Crawford said was a key reason for him to leave the Top Rank late. the last. year after his victory over Shawn Porter.
Since then, Crawford has filed a lawsuit against former supporter Bob Arum and his career is currently at an impasse. This week, Showtime Sports president Stephen Espinoza expressed his apparent desire to do Spence against Crawford.
“Everyone knows who I want next. “I want Terence Crawford next,” Spence told Showtime’s Jim Gray in the ring after his victory over Ugas. “This is the fight I want, this is the fight that everyone else wants. I have these straps, I’m going to get his shit too. The man down. It’s a season with straps, baby. “Terence, I’m coming for this fucking belt.”
“This is the fight I want, this is the fight that everyone else wants. I have these straps, I will go and get his shit “, he added.
Crawford, of course, sees it differently.
“Keep my belts warm, I’ll come grab them later this year,” he said in another post.
Will we finally see Spence vs Crawford this year?
