Errol Spence Jr will likely go toe-to-toe with Terence Crawford in October for an undisputed bout for the welterweight championship.
Both boxers have a 100% record heading into a potential fight, so something would have to give. Spence has a 28-0-0 record with Crawford boasting a 38-0-0 record.
Spence holds the WBC, IBF, WBA welterweight belts with Crawford offering up the WBO belt if the undisputed clash does go ahead in a few months.
Itâs certainly going to be an intriguing fight should it happen, with both fighters away from the ring for a while, itâs been almost a year since Crawfordâs last fight and half a year for Spence.
An all American clash would see two southpaws go at it in an intriguing battle, both fighters are regarded as some of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world right now, so the entire boxing community will have their eyes on this one.
Canelo Alvarez, who is in training for a third fight with Gennady Golovkin in September, was asked about the potential undisputed welterweight clash and seemed to be looking forward to it like the rest of us.
Hasim Rahman has claimed Canelo Alvarez can beat Oleksandr Usyk at a catchweight limit of 201lbs
He was asked for his thoughts on the fight, going on to claim: âItâs going to be a really good fight, but I think, Spence is a really good fighter, but I think Crawford is.â
After that he was asked for this opinion on Crawfordâs style and whether or not he would keep his southpaw stance: âHe can switch that, I think heâs better.â
The interviewer finished off with a simple question, âDo you still think you favour Spence?â To which Canelo replied: âNo no, Crawford!â
Itâs hard to argue with Canelo on the quality of the fight, Crawford has defended his WBO belt five times since winning it back in June 2018, most recently beating Shawn Porter with a KO in round 10 back in November.
On the other hand, Spence defended his WBC and IBF belts when he beat Yordenis Ugas to claim the WBA belt and put him just one fight away from the undisputed tag in the welterweight division.
We donât know who will win the fight or when it will be, but with two of the best pound-for-pound fighters about, we know it wonât be one youâll want to miss! Especially when both fighters have good KO percentages.
From his 38 wins, Crawford has 29 knockouts which comes in at 76%, whilst Spence has 22 from his 28 wins which comes in at 78%, could we see a knockout in this eagerly anticipated bout?
