Errol Spence vs. Terence Crawford fight: Long-awaited undisputed welterweight title bout set for July
CBSN
The pair of pound-for-pound greats will meet with all four titles at 147 pounds on the line
One of the longest-talked-about fights in boxing is finally coming together as welterweight champions Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford are set for a massive four-belt unification on July 29 in Las Vegas, both fighters announced on Thursday. The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and air live on Showtime PPV.
Spence and Crawford are two of the elite pound-for-pound fighters in the sport and their presence in the same division has led to years of demand for the two to clash and determine the top fighter at 147 pounds. As happens so often, boxing's political games got in the way of it happening as Crawford was signed to Top Rank while Spence was part of Premier Boxing Champions' deep roster of welterweights.
With Crawford's Top Rank deal done, he was free to seek fights that were unavailable in the past, including finally showing down with Spence. Unfortunately, the fight failed to come together on the first attempt.
