Errol Spence Jr. shared a mysterious message recently. Is he upset with the current state of boxing? The post has garnered a variety of reactions, including one from Teofimo Lopez. It may take some time before the meaning behind Spence Jr.’s post becomes clear. However, the followers know this isn’t the first time the Texas native has shared such a perplexing message.

It has been over 18 months since Errol Spence Jr. last fought in the ring. On July 29, 2023, he faced Terence Crawford in an epic battle. Unfortunately, he lost the fight, suffering his first career defeat. However, it seems the loss has had a deeper impact than expected. Spence Jr. stayed out of the public eye and underwent eye surgery, potentially ending his chances of a rematch with Crawford. Reports later surfaced that, after moving up a division, Spence Jr. could face unified champion Sebastian Fundora. However, the timeline for this fight has been uncertain. Recent reports suggest it may happen this year. Following last year’s post about a potential retirement in 2024, rumors once again swirled about Spence Jr. hanging up his gloves.

A head-scratcher from ‘The Truth’

“Boxing is so f**ked up,” wrote Errol Spence Jr. God forbid he’s hinting at bad news regarding the Fundora fight. Talks for the fight have been ongoing since May of last year, and a tentative date appeared on the horizon, only to fade away due to complications.

Things took an interesting turn. Wishing him the best, the parody account of former talkSPORT online editor Michael Benson suggested that Errol Spence Jr. had announced his retirement ‘after sustaining another injury to his eye in training.’

As the discussion progressed, it wasn’t until Spence Jr. clarified, “If it’s not from me,” urging fans not to believe the rumors, that the matter was put to rest. However, one might recall what the New York-born southpaw said last year: “Might be the last time you see me.”

It’s unclear what might have caused Errol Spence Jr.’s despair. But one thing is certain: diehard fans want to see him back in the ring.

Errol Spence Jr. vs. Sebastian Fundora: hopes through uncertainties

Citing sources, Dan Rafael shared, “The target date for the #FundoraSpence 154 title bout is March 29 to headline a PBC on Prime PPV at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.” He clarified that they have not finalized the deal ‘100%.’ However, if sealed, the plan will likely remain in place.

In early September 2023, Spence Jr. initiated his side of the clause to activate the rematch clause. This move cost Crawford his undisputed title, but the fight never took place. By January, reports emerged that Spence Jr. had undergone surgery to remove cataracts.

As a result, the chances of a second fight grew more remote. Months later, chasing his dream fight against Canelo Alvarez, Crawford moved up a division. Spence Jr. followed suit and joined the 154-pound division.

On March 3, Errol Spence Jr. will turn 35. Given his health concerns and age, he may not have many fights left before deciding on final retirement. Perhaps the fight against Fundora will offer one last chance for him to exit with a championship in hand. Fans are eagerly looking forward to and hoping the fight eventually materializes.

What about you? Do you think Errol Spence Jr. will pose a serious challenge to young Sebastian Fundora if their matchup happens?
