Boxing News: Terence Crawford Delivered Distressing Update On Errol Spence Rematch
Terence Crawford might have just moved on from Errol Spence Jr.
Crawford shocked the world back in July 2023. It's not the fact that he defeated Spence that had boxing fans surprised. What was rather stunning was how dominant "Bud" looked against "The Truth." Spence could never get into second gear in the fight.
A second-round knockdown would be a sign of bad things to come for Spence. There is no doubt that "The Truth" showed heart, but he was outmatched en route to a ninth-round TKO loss.
A rematch clause was put in place for the Crawford vs. Spence fight as long as both men agree to terms. It appears there is a standstill, which may have led to arguably the pound-for-pound best boxer today moving on from the rematch.
Here's a message Terence Crawford sent on his X account:
"I done heard it all now @ErrolSpenceJr it’s ok tho because all in all I’m glad it’s over and done with. I wish you well ma brotha."
Spence, who has dealt with eye issues, including a retinal detachment in his left eye, recently revealed in a deleted post on Instagram Stories that he underwent cataract surgery. Despite the eye problems, Spence has said he will not be retiring.
It'll be interesting to see what Crawford does, and of course the health of Spence. If the former world welterweight champion is finally able to put his issues to bed, then he won't be short on some key matchups.
As for Crawford, if he's indeed done with Spence, then what would he do next? Does he stay put and look to silence the rise of Jaron "Boots" Ennis? Does he move up and look to take all the gold at junior middleweight? Does he go right after Canelo Alvarez?
These are all burning questions surrounding "Bud's" future.
