At the moment, it seems increasingly likely that there will be a rematch between Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) and Errol Spence Jr. (28-1, 22 KOs) will take place in the junior middleweight division.

Crawford announced that his goal for the coming years is to unify all the belts in the junior middleweight division. “Bud” would like to finish his career by becoming the undisputed champion in his third weight class.

The Nebraska boxer unified four world titles in the super lightweight division in 2017 and repeated the feat in the welterweight division in July. Crawford's announcement means his 66kg titles will likely become vacant soon.

Crawford's second fight with Spence is scheduled for the first quarter of next year. The fight will be organized in the USA.
