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.
