At the end of April, journalists from The Ring magazine announced the grandiose union of Spence with Terence Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs), WBO champion, which supposedly takes place on July 22. But after almost two weeks, no new information on this matter has appeared anymore.
“I'm looking for the biggest challenges, so I want to fight Crawford. We agreed, and I keep my word. We talk directly, I even called him recently, and we talked for 30-40 minutes about the negotiations and our meeting. Things are going well, and our teams continue to negotiate,” said Spence Jr.
