Errol Spence Tired Of Crawford Questions, Eyes Porter Rematch

Errol Spence is tired of answering questions about Terence Crawford as fight fans clamour for a match-up between the two consensus best welterweights in boxing in 2021.

Spence is confident he will clean out the division in the near future after easing past Danny Garcia in his first fight back from a near-fatal car crash in 2019. ‘The Truth’ successfully defended his IBF and WBC belts over 12 rounds against the game former champ.

Speaking on the PBC Podcast hosted by Kenneth Bouhairie and Michael Rosenthal, Spence insisted he is just a few fights away from cleaning out the 147lb division, he said.

“I want to fight the best fighters out there, and I want to be an undefeated champion. I’m on the verge of cleaning out the division. Probably two or three more then we’ll see [before moving on to 154].”

‘The Truth’ also expressed frustration at having to answer constant questions about Crawford, who is coming off a impressive fourth round TKO win over Kell Brook and instead tried to steer the conversation towards a rematch with Shawn Porter.

“As far as opponents, I feel like I’m over [Crawford] in that category,” Spence said. “A Porter rematch may be good. The first fight was an exciting fight. The second one would probably be like the first one.”

“I get tired of people asking me about him [Terence Crawford] when I have a fight coming up. People asking me about Terence Crawford two days before I’m fighting Danny Garcia,” said Spence. “I feel like they’re being dismissive of Danny Garcia. When I don’t have a fight coming up, I don’t get tired of it. It comes with the territory. When you’re in the same weight class, you’re going to get those questions.” (Transcribed by Boxing Scene)
