Errol Spence Jr. eyes redemption. His career got derailed last year when Terence Crawford handed him a sound beating. Since then, a rematch has been on the card, and the American also activated a rematch clause to exact vengeance. However, the signs are not encouraging for his fans.

The fans recently had a sneak peek into ‘The Truth’s first training session after his cataract surgery. Notably, Spence Jr. has had troubles with his eye that have proved costly. He had to withdraw from a fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2021 because of a left retinal surgery. Similar issues persisted and resulted in ‘Bud’s “so many jabs and hooks” piercing through his body that eventually cost him the fight.
