Via Sean Jones: Errol Spence Jr says he will “sure” agreed to face Canelo Alvarez if offered a successful defeat of Terence Crawford on July 29 in Las Vegas.
A big fight between Spence and Canelo could be the biggest in boxing, given that both men win this year’s bout.
Errol has two games against Crawford that he needs to avoid first, while Canelo will face a still-unnamed opponent in September.
Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) said his two potential contests this year against Crawford would be his last at 147 before he rises to 154, so he’s ready to go. ready to face Mexican superstar Canelo if given the opportunity. “walk past the table”.”
It makes sense for Canelo to fight Spence as he’s clearly not eager to take on the Lions at 168th in the David Benavidez & David Morrell Jr.
Furthermore, the way Canelo talks about the rematch with Dmitry Bivol needs to be on the same terms as their previous contest last year; Seem he doesn’t seriously care in that war, either.
Given the size and power advantage, Canelo (59-2-2, 39 KOs) may be more willing to take the risk fighting Spence than facing the lion cubs, Benavidez & Morrell, 168 age and its owner is Bivol at 175.
“If the war [against Canelo Alvarez] passing the table, I will definitely join that fight,” Errol Spence told Dallas Cowboys Youtube channel when asked if he wants to fight Canelo Alvarez.
“165 – 168, that’s my natural weight and it’s a lot easier for me to do, so I will definitely join that fight.“
Spence needs to get past Crawford in what is expected to be two games this year. If Spence wins his first match against Crawford in July, he thinks the Omaha-born Nebraska will fulfill a rematch clause in his contract to force the second match to take place in November or December.
Canelo is under a lot of pressure from boxing fans to face Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs), but it is unclear if he will accept the risky bout as the red-haired star seems to avoided him for many years.
If Canelo doesn’t face Benavidez or Bivol in September, he’ll need a solid opponent as he can’t land a 41-year-old John Ryder or Gennadiy Golovkin again. Fans are realizing that Canelo is avoiding fights at his best to keep his career afloat.
