On August 21st, Errol Spence Jr. will take on the toughest test of his boxing career. He will go toe-to-toe against boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. However, Spence Jr. is eyeing a much bigger picture post this fight, and he is ready to execute all his plans.
In an interaction with Barbershop Conversations, the unified welterweight champion gave an insight into his fight roadmap. He said, “Once I get that belt, like I told [PBC head] Al [Haymon], I want that fight with Crawford but if it doesn’t happen then I’ll probably just move up [to 154 pounds] or something.”
“I’m not going to waste my time trying to fight somebody who says they don’t have any interest in me anymore. He doesn’t want to fight me anymore.” (h/t Boxing Scene)
