ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reported that, according to his source, the super fight for the undisputed welterweight championship is almost done.
Terence Crawford (38-0.29 KO) and Errol Spence Jr (28-0.22 KO) engaged in a collision. The two boxers rank high on most balanced lists, and a match between them would see an inconclusive record broken.
Crawford, who holds the WBO belt, will face Shawn Porter in the tenth knockout round. He recently dropped out of Bob Arum and Top Rated, which is definitely a key ingredient in the battle with PBC’s Spence approaching.
On the other hand, Spence is the proud owner of the WBC, WBA and IBF belts. His last match was eerily similar – he also knocked out Yordenis Ugás in the 10th round. Before that, his career was halted for a while after a serious car accident on 2019.
Despite calls on both sides to buy scrap, negotiations have always seemed to have stalled in the past. As Coppinger reports, progress has finally been made. He said the couple “agreed to all the important terms.” In the story, he highlights a potential date of November 19 with Las Vegas as the location. As is assumed, the fight will be available through PBC Pay Per View. A rematch clause for both fighters was also mentioned.
Although there is no official announcement yet, this is the most positive and specific news surrounding a war that may go down in history. Than to follow.
