Terence Crawford, Errol Spence spar on Twitter over potential unification fight

Who is the undisputed best welterweight in boxing? There is one way of finding out and that’s having WBO champion Terence Crawford fight WBC and IBF titleholder Errol Spence Jr.

Ever since Crawford moved up and became WBO welterweight champion in the summer of 2018, fans have been craving for a title unification fight with Spence. The problem, as is usually the case in boxing, is getting the fight made.

Crawford is with Top Rank and ESPN. Spence is with PBC on Fox. Therefore, there’s already an obstacle in getting all parties to agree to a deal, especially when it comes to revenue share and TV distribution.

But Crawford doesn’t see it that way. He feels if Spence really wanted the fight, he’d have asked for it by now and told PBC to make it happen.

So what’s been the hold up homie? When I came to the division y’all all said I had to get a title first. Now you changed yo mind and talking about wrong side of the street. So I’m just here for another excuse what’s up.

In the end, they both agreed that a title unification fight would happen in the future.

@ErrolSpenceJr is a cool dude on some real shit we both agree the fight will happen.

It’s clear that both fighters want the fight. The boxing world wants the fight as well. And it would certainly be a shame if fans didn’t get to see two of the best pound-for-pound and undefeated boxers collide in their prime.

Hopefully, ESPN and PBC can work together in making a potential title unification bout come to fruition in 2020.
