While some of the biggest names in boxing bide their time and wait to announce their next moves, many peoples’ pick as the pound-for-pound king is set to fight in a week’s time. Terence Crawford will be debuting at 154 pounds, challenging Israil Madrimov for his WBA super welterweight title.
While Crawford gets ready to fight, the opponent he last faced is struggling to make a decision on his future. Errol Spence Jr. has been eyeing a fight against light middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora, but Fundora is waiting to see if he can get a fight with Crawford first.
Is Errol Spence letting his prime slip away?
While Spence stays patient, Shawn Porter is imploring him to get off the couch and into the ring.
The issues Porter mentions come from a pair of lawsuits against and by Derrick James, Spence’s trainer who he split with after the Crawford fight. James has claimed he’s owed over $5 million from working in Spence’s corner.
Spence has a lot on his mind right now. The best medicine could very well be sitting down at the table with Fundora, setting a date and throwing hands.
