It is finally the big night! Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. will enter the ring for a historic fight at any moment. The ultimate and rare unification of all the titles in the welterweight division will see the two fighters enter into a solid matchup the world has waited forever. As the undercards pan out right now before the biggest clash of the year, there is Teofimo Lopez gearing himself to fight the winner of this bout.

Will it be a hung fight? Or will it elapse in the initial rounds through a knockout? Whatever the case, there are increasing chances of the two meeting again in the boxing ring to invoke their rematch clause. However, the ultimate winner from this highly observed global event has two possible directions he can branch out in. Either move up the weight to 154 or possibly fight Jaron Ennis. Currently, the IBF interim welterweight title holder, Teofimo Lopez hopes to fight the winner once the dust settles on the fight. His father explains further.
