Teams Errol Spence Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs) and Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) continue to negotiate their fight, and, according to the parties, both really want this fight. After the victory of the WBA, WBC and IBF champion over Yordenis Ugas in April, the moment came for the full unification of the division. Already at the beginning of June, there was talk of negotiations at the headquarters of Pravda and Bad.
“The plan is to organize this fight. It is in our hands to organize it. This is an opportunity to enter the ring for the sake of all those who want to see our fight. Now is the best moment, everything is at stake. Errol has three belts, I have one. This is a fight for the absolute championship, there will be no other champion in this division. I feel like this is the best time for the two of us to fight," Crawford said.
A week ago, Spence, in turn, said the following: “Now this fight is closer than ever. If it doesn't happen now, it will never happen. The fight is much closer than before. I think it will definitely come to him.”
A few days later, Spence added, “I think this fight is going to happen. He wants it and I want it. This is a matter of negotiations. This fight will definitely take place this year, this is the biggest fight in boxing at the moment. I don’t know where, I don’t know when, but this year it will definitely happen.”
