Errol Spence ‘agrees deal’ for world title clash in first fight since Terence Crawford defeat.
Errol Spence is set to return to the ring for the first time since losing to Terence Crawford.
Spence has hit turbulence in his career, having lost to bitter rival Crawford in their undisputed title clash in July 2023, where he was brutally stopped.
‘The Truth’ hasn’t competed since that date, and has been linked with a whole host of names as he contemplates a move up in weight to 154lbs.
And it has been suggested that he will do exactly that, with ESPN reporting that he has agreed to a showdown with Sebastian Fundora for the WBC super-welterweight title.
The fight has yet to receive official details according to the report, but is being targeted to take place in October at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
Spence has fought at the venue twice in the past in wins over Mikey Garcia and Yordenis Ugas, so will be hoping to replicate his form on familiar turf.
Fundora is fresh from the back of a huge upset win over Tim Tszyu in a bloody battle which saw him claim the strap, and send his name propelling into new stardom.
Spence had stepped in the ring after the impressive win, and called for the clash insisting he is perfectly placed to become a two-weight world champion.
He said: “It’s time to get it on. He got a pretty good height, but we’ll see.
It will be a stern examination of Spence’s credentials, given Fundora stands at a monstrous 6ft 5ins, which is an extremely large frame at this weight.
Spence is significantly smaller than his rival, and will be hoping to not meet the same fate as promising Australian star Tszyu.
