Terence Crawford revealed fight plans for 2022 in an interview with DAZN Boxing. When asked about a potential matchup with Errol Spence Jr. later this year, Crawford stated:

"Hopefully. That's the plan. For us to get the job done on the business side and to be able to share the ring and put on a great performance for each and every one of you guys that want to see the two of us share the ring together."

The fight has been talked about for the better half of a decade. However, issues kept cropping up about scheduling the match between Crawford and Spence Jr. Despite the long wait, Crawford stated that he felt now was the right time for them to meet in the ring:

"I think right now is the best time because it's for all the marbles. Errol Spence got three of the titles, I got one. It would be for undisputed, there wouldn't be another champion in the division, and I feel like this is the biggest moment for us two to fight."

While nothing has been confirmed, it seems likely that fans will finally be able to witness a bout between the two champions. It will be the opportunity to witness who walks away as the undisputed welterweight champion of the world.

Crawford posted these photos to Instagram, congratulating the Hall of Fame inductees:
