Unified welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. and three-division world champion, Terence Crawford are two of the most iconic names in the division. And a fight between the duo has been one of the most anticipated showdowns in the welterweight division. There were recent reports that revealed that the duo is in talks for a potential fight. Meanwhile, Crawford had also called out the undisputed light middleweight champion, Jermell Charlo, for a fight. And Spence was quick to share his thoughts on the Crawford-Charlo showdown.

Spence Jr. was hanging out with his team when ES NEWS caught up with him. While talking with the crew, the interviewer asked them about their thoughts on Crawford fighting Charlo. This was when Spence Jr. pitched in saying, “He ain’t fighting no Jermell. Sh*t. If I can’t fight him, he ain’t fighting Jermell. If I can’t fight, you at the loop.”

Spence, on the other hand, mentioned that he still wishes to fight Crawford. However, he added that it would not take place in the first quarter of 2023.
