After years of anticipation and several failed attempts to make the fight happen, Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford are set to collide on July 29 in what is expected to be one of the biggest and most significant fights in recent boxing history.

The battle will determine the undisputed welterweight champion, bringing together two of the sport’s pound-for-pound elite.

Crawford, the reigning WBO welterweight champion, has long been regarded as one of boxing’s premier talents. His ascent to the top was hindered by his affiliation with Top Rank, which prevented him from facing the elite welterweights under the Premier Boxing Champions banner.

However, after parting ways with Top Rank, the opportunity for a long-awaited clash with Spence Jr. finally emerged.

On the other side of the ring stands Spence Jr., the undefeated WBC, IBF, and WBA welterweight champion.

While he has been less active due to various setbacks, including a car crash and a retinal tear, Spence Jr. showcased his dominance in his last outing by unifying his titles with an impressive 10th-round stoppage victory over Yordenis Ugas in April 2022.

The showdown will take place at the renowned T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will be broadcast on Showtime pay-per-view. The fight card also features exciting matchups, including Isaac Cruz vs. Giovanni Cabrera in the lightweight division and Jesus Ramos vs. Sergio Garcia in the junior middleweight division.

Boxing enthusiasts around the world eagerly anticipate this long-awaited showdown between Spence Jr. and Crawford.

The fight has generated significant buzz, following the success of previous boxing events, and is expected to deliver an unforgettable spectacle for fans.

As the date approaches, boxing fans and experts alike are eager to witness the clash of these welterweight giants and determine who will emerge as the undisputed champion.

With the potential for a bidirectional rematch clause, the stakes are even higher, fueling the excitement surrounding the event.

Mark your calendars for July 29th, as boxing history is set to be made with Spence Jr. and Crawford stepping into the ring.

The event promises to captivate the world, leaving an indelible mark on the sport and solidifying the legacies of these two remarkable fighters.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
