After Terence Crawford stopped Errol Spence Jr. in the 9th round of their fight last year, Stephen A. Smith argued that ‘The Truth’ should retire. Similarly, the former Heavyweight champion Shannon Biggs hoped Spence Jr. would quit boxing. But, Spence Jr. is not interested in hanging his gloves. Rather, ‘The Truth’ hopes to fight for the Super-Welterweight titles in his comeback.

Recently, on March 30th, Tim Tszyu faced Sebastian Fundora with the WBO and WBC Super-Welterweight titles. And ahead of the match, Spence Jr. expressed that he wanted to fight the winner of ‘The Soul Taker’ vs. ‘The Towering Inferno’. But, at this, when a boxing commentator suggested Spence Jr. face Gervonta Davis first, ‘Tank’ aka Abdul Wahid was infuriated.

After Sebastian Fundora beat Tim Tszyu to become the unified Super-Welterweight champion of the world, Errol Spence Jr., who watched the fight live, entered the ring to call out Fundora. As ‘The Towering Inferno’ had “got the big dog,” Tim Tszy, ‘The Truth’ said it was time he fought Fundora in the ring. However, the boxing commentator known as 2ToneDaSupastar suggested Spence Jr. rather fight Gervonta Davis to recover from the loss against Crawford before trying himself against Fundora.

Aht! Aht! Errol Spence you need a TUNE UP!! That Terence Crawford A** whooping wasn’t a regular A** whooping,” he said. “Gone and get with Gervonta Davis match maker and get a soft touch,” he added. Soon, the statement came to Gervonta Davis’ notice!

In a reply which was captured by BOXING n BBQ, Davis told 2ToneDaSupastar, “Ima beat yo fat a** when I catch you omm.” Well, frankly speaking, it is unlikely that Errol Spence Jr. and Gervonta Davis will lock horns. In addition to being four inches shorter than ‘The Truth,’ Davis will have to climb up to the Super-Welterweight division for the fight! Anyway, in this context, one must mention that Spence Jr. is likely to face Sebastian Fundora next.

Both Errol Spence Jr. and Sebastian Fundora have shown interest in fighting one another. However, after Fundora’s victory over Tim Tszyu, the WBC ordered Fundora to begin negotiations with the mandatory opponent Terence Crawford. Meanwhile, Fundora’s manager Sampson Lewkowicz also expressed their desire to rematch Tszyu in Australia. But, since Fundora and Spence Jr. are with the PBC, promoter Eddie Hearn felt ‘The Truth’ vs. ‘The Towering Inferno’ could also be the next potential big fight!
