DALLAS — Contract talks have restarted for an undisputed welterweight title fight between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, according to a person with knowledge of the talks.
Spence and Crawford were in discussion for a unification fight last year until it stalled. Crawford elected to fight David Avanesyan, which surprised Spence, who said at the time he agreed to a deal. Crawford defeated Avanesyan by sixth-round knockout on Dec. 10.
Spence (28-0, 22 knockouts) said he would fight one more time in the welterweight division before moving up in weight. His representatives engaged in discussions with fighting Keith Thurman, a former welterweight champion.
