Just a day prior to Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Errol Spence Jr. took to X and declared he wished to face the winner of Fundora vs. Tszyu at 154 lbs. As a result, after Sebastian Fundora, 26, defeated Tim Tszyu, 29, for the WBO and WBC Super-Welterweight titles, the boxer from Dallas called out ‘The Towering Inferno’. The call-out has caught the current WBA, WBO, and WBC Welterweight champion, Terence Crawford‘s notice!

In February this year, WBO President, Paco Valcarcel said that Crawford could move up to 154 lbs from 147 lbs. Therefore, if Spence Jr. now beats Fundora and wins the titles, Crawford will become his mandatory provided ‘Bud’ climbs up to Super-Welterweight. In this context, ‘Bud’ and ‘The Truth’ bantered on social media.

Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. banter on X

With a unanimous victory, the new unified Super-Welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora ended Tim Tszyu’s unbeaten career as a pro. Following Fundora’s impressive win against Tszyu at  T-Mobile Arena, Errol Spence Jr. stepped into the ring to tell Fundora that “it’s time to get it on.” As per ‘The Truth,’ now that Fundora, 6′ 5½″, has “got the big dog” i.e. Tszyu, Spence Jr. must “break him [Fundora] down“. On the other hand, Fundora was open to fighting Errol too.

“He’s one of the greats right now, he’s one of the pound-for-pound. So, if I can fight him and get a win off of him, it would be good history for me again,” replied Fundora. At this, Terence Crawford, who beat Spence Jr. black and blue, took to X to comment about Spence Jr.’s size. “@ErrolSpenceJr n***a you look like a linebacker my guy!” said ‘Bud’ in a friendly tone.
