LAS VEGAS — It’s finally happening.
Welterweight superstars Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford announced Thursday via social media that they’ve agreed to fight July 29 at T-Mobile Arena for the undisputed 147-pound championship, solidifying one of the most consequential and compelling mega fights of the modern era between two of its greatest pound-for-pound boxers.
The announcement formally ends several months of on-and-off negotiations and begins for Crawford a two-fight deal with Premier Boxing Champions, which will present the fight via Showtime pay-per-view, with which Spence has long been aligned.
