Spence Jr could face Stanionis by the end of the year

Yesterday there was information that on December 10 Terence Crawford meet with David Avanesyan. In this situation, the IBF, WBA and WBC world champion Errol Spence Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs) will face a previously scheduled, albeit still unsettled, fight with WBO champion Crawford in February or a less difficult fight at the end of the year.

A possible opponent of Spence, who won the unification fight with Yordenis Ugas ahead of schedule in April this year, is a strong Lithuanian Eimantas Stanionis (14-0, 9 KOs), who defeated Rajab Butaev on points in April to win the WBA regular title.

Stanionis is a former European Olympic boxing champion in 2015, demonstrating a wide technical and physical arsenal in the professional ring. Eimantas is a very good boxer and hits very hard. His confrontation with Spence would certainly be interesting and would somewhat sweeten the protracted negotiations about the confrontation between Spence Jr. and Crawford.
