Saturday’s welterweight unification bout in Las Vegas is already being hyped as potentially one of boxing’s classics
LAS VEGAS — The person once known as the “baddest man on the planet” stood between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford at Thursday’s news conference, and just the mere presence of Mike Tyson further cemented the magnitude of their showdown.
“I haven’t seen things like this in over 30 years — two of the best fighters in the world to decide who is truly the best,” Tyson said. “This is going to be legendary,” Spence said. “This is going to be iconic. People are going to talk about this fight 30, 40 years from now when they talk about legendary fights. When they talk about Leonard and Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler … they’re going to talk about this fight the same way.”
They always seemed destined to meet, though Spence twice survived serious car crashes. He was nearly killed in 2019 when he was ejected after losing control, and last year a 14-year-old hit him head on. Spence faces an opponent in Crawford who is a knockout machine, having ended 10 fights in a row by KO, boxing’s second-longest active streak.
Maybe both fighters will put on another memorable championship fight in Las Vegas. The hype has certainly been there for this bout.
