‘Filet on the Way’ Terence Crawford Takes a Bite, Throwing Shade at Errol Spence Jr. Ahead of Their Highly Anticipated Bout

The long-awaited bout between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. is set to captivate the boxing world later this month. This clash for the undisputed Welterweight title has been a dream matchup for fans. However, its realization has been hindered by numerous delays and negotiations falling through. Now, with all obstacles cleared, Crawford and Spence are ready to step into the ring and determine who will be crowned the undisputed king at 147 lbs.

Ever since Terence Crawford moved up to the Welterweight division and claimed the WBO strap in 2018, a showdown with Spence Jr. has remained imminent. Spence, after winning the IBF belt in 2017, had his sights set on acquiring the other two Welterweight titles before facing his WBO rival. Now that the bout is officially booked, ‘Bud’ has taken the opportunity to throw shade at his rival ahead of their showdown.

In a recent post on his Instagram, ‘Bud’ took some subtle jabs at Spence. Crawford wrote, “Filet on the way,” in the caption of a post where he can be seen training. This was meant as a dig at Spence’s nickname ‘Big Fish’ suggesting he would metaphorically cook the unified champion during their bout.

While this is not the first time Crawford has taken a dig at Spence, it is exciting to see the rivalry heating up just weeks before their fight. Moreover, the WBO champ feels that his critics will be silenced when he beats Spence convincingly. This will help him cement himself as the undisputed champion of the division.

However, ‘Bud’ made it clear that if anyone refuses to acknowledge his abilities and achievements, it will be their own burden to bear.

The outcome of the fight will determine Crawford’s standing in the boxing community. It will provide an opportunity for him to silence critics. Moreover, this statement reflects his unwavering determination to prove himself in the ring and shut his detractors up once and for all.
