Terence Crawford was the last man to share a ring with Errol Spence , and he is now giving his backing to the Texan as his comeback against Tim Tszyu in Australia draws closer.
Crawford, now retired, has since defeated Israil Madrimov and Canelo Alvarez since getting past Spence in 2023, but he believes his former rival can get the job done when he tackles the son of legendary fighter, Kostya Tszyu.
At one time, Spence was one of boxing’s best fighters as his run at welterweight brought a number of impressive results as he picked up wins over quality operators such as Kell Brook and Shawn Porter.
When facing Crawford three years ago, the fight would crown an undisputed welterweight champion, and the boxing community was split on who would pick up the win between two of the sport’s best operators.
When the bell sounded, Crawford was dominant from the opening bell, and his hard work was rewarded with a ninth-round stoppage.
Since that setback, it’s been unclear whether Spence would fight again, but at 36, he’s about to return from the sidelines and he faces a stern test against Tszyu.
Despite his absence and his last fight being a one-sided loss, Spence will have his hand raised according to Crawford.
“I think Errol is going to come out victorious. That’s what I think.” said Crawford when speaking exclusively to DAZN in Australia.
Victory for either man is likely to set up a world title fight in the early stages of 2027 so the stakes could not be higher.
