With this win, Crawford has now again put himself on top of the contention to face his biggest welterweight rival, Errol Spence Jr.

“Bob [Arum] couldn’t secure me the [Errol] Spence fight when I was with him, so how is he gonna secure me the Spence fight when I’m not with him? I’m moving forward with my career.” he said.
