Errol Spence Jr. Returns to Training – Future Opponents in Question
Errol Spence Jr., the former Unified Welterweight Champion, is back in training, marking his return to the gym after his loss to Terence Crawford. Following his defeat, Spence activated the rematch clause to rectify the outcome of their bout. The clash between Spence and Crawford saw Crawford emerge as the first Undisputed Welterweight Champion of the four-belt era. Spence's supporters suggested that the 147-pound weight cut might have played a role in his loss, emphasizing his drained appearance before the fight. Although Spence didn't endorse these claims, he revealed that his vision was compromised during the bout due to cataract issues. The revelation about the successful cataract surgery sparked mixed reactions. Crawford expressed his satisfaction that the discussions and speculations were finally over and wished Spence well. The rematch, however, appears unlikely as Crawford has moved on, leaving Spence contemplating his next move. In a recent training session, Spence showcased his dedication to making a strong comeback. The question now looms large – who will be his next opponent? One potential contender is Jaron Ennis, a rising star in the welterweight division. However, a bout against Ennis poses a considerable risk for Spence, given the young fighter's skill set and rising profile. Another option could be facing either Keith Thurman or Tim Tszyu. Thurman and Tszyu are set to face each other on March 30, 2024, in a non-title fight on PBC's first pay-per-view event with Amazon Prime Video. If Tszyu, the current WBO Junior Middleweight Champion, emerges victorious, Spence could potentially vie for another world title, presenting an opportunity to become a two-weight world champion. On the other hand, another loss for Spence might intensify calls for him to consider retirement. Spence's future in the welterweight division remains uncertain, with potential matchups against formidable opponents and the looming possibility of a Crawford rematch. While Crawford has been advised to take his time and avoid rushing into a rematch with Spence, the boxing world eagerly awaits Spence's next move, anticipating the continuation of his storied career. #ErrolSpenceJr #TerenceCrawford #Boxing
