After years of speculation regarding a potential matchup, Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have agreed to fight for the undisputed welterweight championship at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 29, according to ESPN’s Mike Coppinger.
Crawford (39-0) has held the WBO welterweight title since 2018, while Spence (28-0) is the unified welterweight champion, as he currently owns the IBF, WBC and WBA titles. Each fighter will earn over $10 million for the bout, with the agreement carrying a bidirectional rematch clause that the loser can initiate within 30 days.
Should the rematch occur, and Crawford and Spence each win once, Coppinger reports that a third fight would be “overwhelmingly likely” to happen. The agreement stipulates that the second fight between the two must be held before the end of 2023.
