Terence Crawford delivered a stunning one-sided beatdown against Errol Spence last July, securing the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO welterweight titles. Despite the dominance, interest in a rematch was low, but Spence invoked the rematch clause, initiating a second bout. However, six months later, there’s no progress update on the rematch, especially since Spence had to undergo cataract surgery in January, causing further delays.
Renowned boxing journalist Dan Rafael shared on the Stephen A Smith Show that it appears the Crawford vs. Spence rematch won’t happen anytime soon. Spence’s recent surgery is a contributing factor, leaving Crawford in need of a new opponent. This development opens the possibility of another significant match.
Reports from ESPN Mexico suggest that Canelo Alvarez’s 2024 fights may include Crawford. The plan involves defending his undisputed super-middleweight titles against Jermall Charlo in May and then facing Crawford in September, despite the considerable weight difference that previously led to speculation dismissal by Canelo. Crawford, on the other hand, has been receptive to the idea, making this potential super fight an intriguing prospect.
