Spence told his fans: “Finally giving the fans what they want. This one a throwback fight on paper, but it could be a one-sided a** whooping.

In addition, he said: “Nonsense is being spewed. I respect Errol SpenceJr, but he posted about the need for 24/7/365 testing in boxing, including a hair test. I responded with Vada Testing 24/7/365 info.
“Errol responded by DM. I explained to DM. I have offered to sponsor him and Terence Crawford. The offer [still] stands.”
Even Crawford himself, who attended Devin Haney vs Vasiliy Lomachenko over the weekend, said ‘What’s July 22nd” when asked if he was hyped for the date.

In addition, according to his father, the co-feature for Spence vs Crawford is likely to feature Isaac Cruz.
“We would be fighting in July,” Cruz Sr. told IZQUIERDAZO. “Probably, July 22 [[now July 29].
“I would say it is 80% confirmed. He will be fighting as the co-feature for Spence vs Crawford. It is an almost-done fight. That would be the main fight, and Isaac would fight co-feature.”
Furthermore, on who his son might face, Cruz Sr concluded: “About the opponent, we are being told it is Giovanni Cabrera. That’s what we have.
“There are other two or three names as options, but what we have been told is Giovanni Cabrera. We have to finalize it with Sean Gibbons, Manny Pacquiao, and Al Haymon this week.”
