Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford finally made their fight official with a press conference and pre-fight face-off at the Beverley Hills Hotel in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon.
The welterweight duo will likely decide who is the pound-for-pound No.1 in boxing with the winner of their Las Vegas showdown on July 29, with tickets expected to fly out the door despite a monster minimum charge likely over $500. They will compete on pay-per-view after years of negotiations, with many fearing the fight would never happen.
Crawford knocked out David Avanesyan to retain his WBO belt last December, while Spence hasn't defended his WBA, IBF and WBC titles in over a year since dethroning Yordenis Ugas. The pair had a number of dates leaked throughout the year, but are now set for a summer showdown next month at the T-Mobile Arena.
