Joshua reacts to Spence's loss to Crawford

Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua commented on the defeat of his teammate Errol Spence in battle against Terence Crawford.

“This is not the Errol we know. I know he will get better. I had a lot of respect for Terence Crawford before the fight, but "Bud" is an elite fighter, and so is Errol. I know it wasn't the same guy I had watched many times before. I didn't see everything in his training camp because we trained at different times, but I saw how hard he worked.

In terms of his performance, I think they should be confident in a rematch if they fix what went wrong in training camp. In that case, I think Spence will give Crawford a much tougher fight.

Errol didn't fall on his back, didn't get knocked out. He was stopped on his feet, so let them have a rematch. Let's do it again. I think they definitely need to fight again. I don't think he needs to retire," Joshua said in an interview with FightHype.

Recall that on July 29, Crawford defeated Spence by technical knockout in the ninth round and became the undisputed world welterweight champion.
