Arguably the best fight in boxing is targeted for October.
ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reports that Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford are “closing in on a deal” for a blockbuster October pay-per-view showdown for the undisputed welterweight championship. No agreement has been made yet, but if pen is put to paper the fight would likely be held in Las Vegas.
Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) is coming off a 10th round TKO of Yordenis Ugas in April, defending his WBC and IBF welterweight titles while taking the WBA belt away from Ugas. His reign as a welterweight champion began with his TKO of Kell Brook in England to win the IBF title back in 2017.
