On a Quest to “Fry Fish”, Terence Crawford Issues a Warning to the “Big Fish”

The long-awaited clash between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, a dream for boxing fans for years, is finally scheduled on July 29th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. At the pinnacle of the Welterweight division, Spence Jr., reigning for over six years, faces Crawford, aiming to dethrone him.

Ever since the fight announcement, the prospect of the fight has sent shock waves through the boxing world. It has sparked intense debates among fans and fighters. Both Spence Jr. and Crawford are exuding confidence as they eagerly await the fight day. Previously in an interview with FightHype, Crawford amusingly referred to Spence Jr., the ‘The Big Fish,’ saying, “Everybody come out, show support and watch me fry this fish.”

This light-hearted banter added to the anticipation surrounding the bout. “Bud for the fish fry, what kind of hot sauce you are bringing?” one person asked him. Crawford playfully responded, “I don’t eat hot sauce we’re gonna dry rub them.” If Andre Berto is to be believed, the fight will not go to the distance and the result will be an early stoppage. He recently stated, “Somebody is getting stopped in spectacular fashion. That’s the only way this goes.” There are only five weeks left for the fight. However, recently, Crawford has come out with another warning for the “Big Fish”.

Terence Crawford remains steadfast in his determination to transform the most important fight of his career into an unforgettable triumph. This clever twist stems from Errol Spence Jr.’s ‘Big Shark’ marketing campaign. Crawford’s WBO belt and the WBA, WBC, and IBF Welterweight titles will be up for grabs in their highly anticipated undisputed championship clash. During the official press conference at The Beverly Hills Hotel in California, Crawford expounded on his statement.

In front of host Brian Custer, Crawford expressed his confidence, “I’m gonna gut him. I’m gonna feed him to everybody that eat fish in here. You (Spence) call yourself the ‘Big Fish.’ We gonna have enough food for everybody… put some potatoes on the side of it, too.”

Moreover, recently, Crawford took to Instagram to send a warning to “The Truth”. He posted pictures of himself training for the bout and in the caption he wrote, “Even big fish get caught 🤫🎣”. It seems that ‘Bud’ is out for blood and has set his eyes on being the new unified Welterweight champion. Crawford, boasting a perfect record of 39 wins and 30 knockouts, currently holds the early betting advantage. Moreover, among active male titleholders, Spence’s reign is second only to WBA Strawweight champion Thammanoon Niyomtrong.

He boldly asserted previously, “[A win] shows that I am the greatest fighter of this era.” What do you think about Crawford’s statement? Do you think he will be able to defeat Spence Jr.?
