Terence Crawford has spoken out for the first time since Errol Spence Jr.’s recent revelation that he faced ‘Bud’ with an impaired eye when they fought in July 2023.
According to Spence Jr., he competed against Crawford with a severe cataract that had been covering his eye. ‘The Truth’ took to Instagram to post a photo of his eye after having surgery to remove the cataract and wrote the following caption:
‘Bud’ did not appear convinced by Errol Spence Jr.’s statement, as he took to X to share his thoughts on the matter. Crawford wrote this:
The clash between Crawford and Spence Jr. was one of the most anticipated boxing fights of the last thirty years. Both men were vying to become the first undisputed welterweight champion of the ‘four belt era’, and both pugilists entered the ring undefeated.
However, ‘Bud’ dominated the bout in a fashion that none could have expected.
Crawford dropped ‘The Truth’ three separate times en route to a TKO victory in Round 9 and became the first male boxer to be crowned the undisputed champion in two weight classes.
