Bob Arum wants Crawford vs. Spence by end of 2020
Beginning negotiations for the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford unification fight will start soon, according to Top Rank Boxing promoter Bob Arum. He states that he’ll be speaking with IBF/WBA welterweight champion Spence’s adviser Al Haymon to start the ball rolling during the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury 2 promotions.
Arum isn’t certain of Spence’s status following his car crash last October, and that’ll obviously have a bearing on the Crawford fight. If Spence chooses to take a tune-up in early 2020, then WBO champion Crawford (36-0, 27 KOs) will find another opponent for him to fight before the two face each other later this year.
Although Arum likes the idea of matching Crawford against Shawn Porter, the feelings apparently aren’t mutual with Terence. He’s shown little interest lately in taking on the tough as nails former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Porter (30-3-1, 17 KOs) despite the huge amount of interest and money a fight between them would generate. In that respect, Crawford appears to be stunting his own career.
