The fight between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford is one that has been heavily talked about over the years. However, the highly-anticipated fight has always failed to materialize due to various reasons. Both fighters have shown their eagerness and the fans have been demanding it for years. However, despite all this excitement, the fight has failed to come to fruition. Due to this a lot of fans have lost their faith in the fight ever taking place.

However, it seems that fans may yet have some hope for the fight. Recently, Terence Crawford’s sister Latisha Crawford posted a teaser that stirred up the boxing community once again. Crawford’s tweet resonated with the desires of boxing fans as they waited in anticipation of the fight.

With how huge the fight is, it is inevitable that even slight news regarding the fight will have everyone’s notice. Recently, Terence Crawford’s sister took to Twitter to tease a potentially huge announcement that would shake the whole boxing world, possibly even more than Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis. Latisha Crawford recently posted a picture of an emoji of a woman biting her nails. In the caption she wrote, “I’m just ready for them to announce this damn fight“.

Being Crawford’s sister, it can be assumed fairly that she must have some insider information about the current status of the fight. And her saying that she is “just ready” is possibly a big sign of something brewing up behind the scenes.

Last month ESPN’s Mike Coppinger revealed that the duo was in talks, trying to salvage the fight. After that, Dallas Morning News also revealed that the talks of the fight had restarted.

Thurman, who possesses excellent promotional skills, hasn’t fought since last year but if he works as hard marketing a fight against Spence as he did for his 2019 bout against Manny Pacquiao, it could create massive interest.
