Errol Spence Jr says he’s going to have a “Crawfish boil” Saturday night when he takes on Terence Crawford at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) is confident that he’s going to defeat WBO welterweight champion Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs); he can’t wait to shut up his fans, who have been calling him “goldfish” instead of the “Big Fish.”
IBF, WBA & WBC 147-lb champion Spence & Crawford will be headlining on Showtime PPV in an event that sells for $84.99. In the chief support bout, Isaac Cruz faces Giovanni Cabrera in a lightweight title eliminator.
