Errol Spence Jr. got the fight he always wanted in 2023. After 28 fights and an incredible run that saw him take down Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugas in succession, Spence earned an undisputed title fight against Terence Crawford.
Unfortunately for Spence, “Bud” was simply untouchable on July 29, and Spence got stopped. It was a setback for Spence, but just about anyone would have lost to Crawford that night.
Crawford or Spence next for Tim Tszyu
We haven’t heard much about a potential next opponent for either Crawford or Spence, but it seems like Tim Tszyu‘s team wants to make a fight happen with both of them.
Tszyu is fighting this weekend against Sebastian Fundora, who is replacing an injured Keith Thurman. The WBC and WBO super welterweight belts are on the line.
Crawford has already begun talks with Tszyu to fight at 154. But it sounds like Tszyu and his team are willing to wait this out, assuming he gets past Fundora.
It’s possible they never get another chance at Crawford, but the possibility of fighting Spence first and then Bud might be too tempting. The double payday would be immense, and Tszyu would really be gunning for glory as well.
