Welterweight superstars Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford have reportedly agreed to terms on a blockbuster bout scheduled to take place later this year.
ESPN’s Mike Coppinger reported the details of the long-awaited meeting Thursday, noting that the two sides have “agreed to all material terms” for a title unification fight slated for Nov. 19 in Las Vegas. Spence, 32, currently holds the WBC, WBA and IBF titles while Crawford, 34, is the reigning WBO champion.
While the agreement marks a major step forward in ongoing negotiations surrounding the anticipated 147-pound bout, Coppinger reported the deal has not yet been signed as of Thursday. Spence and Crawford’s lawyers are reportedly cleaning up the legal language in the agreement before the megafight is made official; additionally, the event is expected to be billed as a co-promotion between Spence’s Man Down Promotions and Crawford’s TBC Promotions on PBC pay-per-view.
