Terence Crawford Wants to Follow in Tyson Fury & Anthony Joshua’s Footsteps for Errol Spence Jr. Fight

Terence Crawford, the WBO welterweight world champion, has been looking forward to a bout with Errol Spence Jr. for a while now. Although conversations have taken place, it has not yet been finalized. This weekend, Crawford will face David Avanesyan. However, Crawford made a revelation about his fight with Spence before taking on Avanesyan, which might be of interest to fans.

Terence Crawford will be seen squaring off against Avanesyan on December 10th, at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. But ahead of that, Crawford made it public that he is willing to travel to the UK for his much-anticipated battle with Errol Spence Jr. 

He recently stated, “I wouldn’t mind going to London to do it. You’re gonna make more, trust me, 100%. The UK support boxing more than the US. When Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua fight in the UK, they draw 60,000 in a stadium.”
