Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford are reportedly close to securing a deal for a fight that would take place in October in Las Vegas, according to ESPN.
Currently, neither party has officially agreed on the fight as the two continue to sort out details of the negotiation on a bout that would be presented by PBC on pay-per-view, per ESPN.
Crawford, who sits atop Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix’s Pound-for-Pound rankings, recently departed from Top Rank, his longtime promoter, after he defeated Shawn Porter in a 10th-round TKO in November.
Since then, the 34-year-old boxer has been eager to meet Spence in the ring.
