Spence vs. Crawford announced for Las Vegas

Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. scheduled to fight on July 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have reached an agreement to fight on July 29 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, N.V., for the welterweight championship title, sources announced today. This fight is rumored to be the biggest boxing match since Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao in May 2015.

Both fighters are unbeaten; Spence has a record of 28-0 with 22 victories coming by way of knockout, while Crawford has a record of 39-0 with 30 victories also coming by way of knockout.

Talk began to arise for a prospective fight with Spence following Crawford’s late TKO victory against Shawn Porter in November 2021. Even though a contract was never signed, the boxers went on to win more matches, making them both highly respected pound-for-pound boxers.

In this long awaited match up, the two boxers will square off to be crowned the undisputed welterweight champion of the world and declared the best pound-for-pound boxer.
