Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr. reportedly set for November in Las Vegas
Since Terence Crawford parted ways with his promoters at Top Rank, the speculation surrounding a clash against Errol Spence Jr. has been building. The pair are the current kings of the welterweight division and the matchup is one of the most anticipated fights in the sport.
Despite the long wait and years of tension between the rivals, negotiations look to be progressing positively. According to reputable journalist Dan Rafael, the domestic clash is close to completion.
PBC are aiming for a date in November to host the showdown, with Las Vegas being the location that is desired. It's likely that the fight will be set for November 12 or 19.
Terence Crawford has been working very closely with the boss of PBC, Al Haymon, in recent months. 'Bud' has already worked in close quarters with Haymon in his last fight against Shawn Porter, as Porter was a fighter for the company.
The event will likely be in partnership with Showtime and will, of course, be a pay-per-view event. Rafael also revealed that the undercard is already being worked on in the background.
