Errol Spence Jr. did count the spots of the ladybug well. The WBC, WBA (Super), and IBF Welterweight champion kept his body and soul together as a bubble-headed teen rammed his vehicle onto The Truth’s SUV.
The incident purportedly happened last Saturday, 10th December, in Dallas. Taking his parents’ vehicle for a joyride, a fourteen-year-old teenager ignored the red light and collided with the champion.

He said, “The m**********r—- hit me… f—-ed my leg up. It’s crazy, “He ran the light. Always happen to me. I’ve seen him coming too. He ran right into me.”

The extent of Errol’s leg injury or where exactly the accident occurred is still not out in the open. However, the champion’s SUV is severely damaged.
Later, narrating the incident, he said, “I seen him coming, going fast as hell, “He hit me head-on. My car is all metal, heavy as hell. I’m just glad I didn’t have my kids in there with me. I ain’t worried about no damn car, shoot.”
It is not the first time the Texan southpaw finds himself in a road accident. Some three years back, in October 2019, The Truth survived by the skin of his teeth as the Ferrari he drove hurled him out as he got worked up. Later, it turned out he was drunk as a Lord when the incident happened. Spence Jr. entered a guilty plea, was slapped with a $3,400 fine, and spent three days in jail.
And barely a few months passed when the champion hurt himself in another accident. However, unlike the previous one, Errol’s vehicle was hit from behind.

A clean record of twenty-eight wins has placed the thirty-two-year southpaw on an enviable pedestal. Moreover, his knock-out-win rate stands at a mighty 79%. So, to put it another way, ESPN’s best pound-for-pound boxer has only a few more defining moments left in a glittering career.
His rivalry with WBO Welterweight champion Terence Crawford lent a credible weight for a unification fight. However, the talks came apart, leaving hordes of fans and lovers disappointed.
