The much-awaited fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr has been scheduled for July 29th in the city of Las Vegas. The fighters came face-to-face with each other in their first pre-fight press conference. Interestingly, it bears the potential to become one of the most entertaining back-and-forths in boxing history. Well, both boxers were quite respectful to each other. They were also trying to provoke one another. Terence Crawford looks forward to making himself the 3-division boxing champion after this bout, while Spence Jr is focusing on his undisputed Welterweight title.
Post the conference, Crawford posted a tweet and was bewildered by one of the responses from Spence Jr. According to ‘Bud’, it wasn’t something that Spence Jr must have known, so he even joked about having a mole in his boxing camp. Well, there’s a chance that Crawford himself talked about it in one of his interviews before the conference. So, what was Spence Jr’s response?

Terence Crawford is shocked by Errol Spence’s response to his banter
Since Spence Jr is considered the big fish in the Welterweight division. In one of the recent interviews of Crawford with FightHype.com, he was asked what kind of “hot sauce” he was bringing to fry the fish on the night of July 29th. To that, Crawford simply replied, “I don’t eat hot sauce we’re gonna dry rub ’em“.
Crawford couldn’t recall this interview, because he was flabbergasted when Spence Jr brought his disliking for the sauce. Crawford was going on about how he’d actually go fishing when he’d be fighting with the Welterweight big fish. Then he also explained how he’d make a delicious feast after hunting him.
But amid all this trash-talking, Crawford couldn’t get over Spence Jr’s callout, and he instantly made a joke in his tweet that there’s some insider in his team who has been spilling all the secrets to Spence. As he wrote, “Who told [Errol Spence Jr] that I don’t eat hot sauce? We got a mole.”
