Terence Crawford and Errol Spence have been expected to fight each other for the longest time. The boxing world is invested in this fight as both competitors are one of the best pound-for-pound fighters and compete in the same weight division. Not to mention, the two are also undefeated and have remained dominant throughout their professional careers.
The stakes are as high as they can get and that’s why off-court negotiations have not been prolific. Since both competitors are big names; meeting a consensus becomes difficult as both parties expect their demands to be met. It is due to this, the fight has not come to fruition as of yet. However, it is speculated that the fight is as good as done but the fans are not buying it.
