“I think you know the fight will happen. At this point, it has to happen,” he said to Pro Boxing Fans.

Herring added that Spence Jr. wants to clean up the division before moving and fighting in another weight class. And considering his aspirations, Terence Crawford qualifies as a top opponent for a welterweight unification bout.

Herring continued, “I don’t think like they throwing jabs at each other, but I don’t think it’s nothing personal. Both of those guys are good individuals, they’re just really hungry and competitive, and they wanna outdo the other.”

With such statements coming from Jamel Herring, it’s clear that ‘The Truth’ and ‘Bud’ aren’t dodging each other.
