Ever since Errol Spence broke Kell Brook's eye socket in 2017 to wrestle the IBF world welterweight title from the Brit, the Truth has been world champion. Spence added the WBC title to his collection with a split decision defeat of Shawn Porter in September 2019, then took Yordenis Ugas' WBA title from him last time out in April 2022. The Truth has made six title defences, but this is the one every has been demanding from the Long Island southpaw ever since that Brook defeat. He has also had to contend with a horrific car crash in October 2019 in his hometown of Dallas, when flipping his Ferrari and spending nearly a week in hospital. Holding three of the belts, Spence is an elite pressure fighter whose power could move up the divisions.
Terence Crawford has been a world champion since beating Ricky Burns in Glasgow in March 2014 for the WBO world lightweight title. Bud later became undisputed world light-welterweight champion in knocking out Julius Indongo inside three rounds in August 2019, before making the expected move up to welterweight. Since moving up a division, he has Jose Benadivez, Kell Brook, Amir Khan and Shawn Porter on his resumé, but there's no doubting that Spence will be the southpaw from Nebraska's toughest test yet.
Spence has reaffirmed his intention "to win by any means necessary", promising his front-foot style will do the damage with a strong jab and excellent body shots. The 33-year-old is younger, bigger and perhaps a bit stronger, but Crawford is a master defensive fighter who boxes at range and seldom gets hit. It could be that his counter-punching, reactive style may win out, but if Spence lands big then all bets are off.
