JAKARTA A good day to wait. That's what world boxing addicts are currently imagining, who are waiting for the battle of Errol Spence Jr vs Terence Crawford at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas on Saturday night 29 July 2023 or Sunday morning 30 June in Indonesia. They are waiting for an exciting battle battle filled with first-class boxing techniques.

By the promoter of TGB Promotions, this duel was titled Clash of The Titans which depicts a great two-giant fighter. Spence Jr is the welterweight champion (66 kg) of the WBA/WBC/IBF version, while Crawford won the WBO boxing body version. Both are unbeaten, Spence Jr with a record 28-d0-0 (22 KO) and Crawford 39-0-0 (30 KO).

By The Ring, Spence Jr is ranked ranked 1st welterweight boxer in the world today. After completing his duties as US representative at the 2012 London Olympics, Spence Jr's popularity shot up quickly. Especially after this left-handed boxer dared to fight outside the US against British IBF champion Kell Brook at Sheffield and won KO round 11.

Crawford, though not as great as Spence Jr in amateurs, is no less successful in professionals. First as a pro boxer, Crawford started from the lightweight (61 kg) and became the WBO world champion. He moved up to the junior welter (63 kg) and instead succeeded in becoming a true world champion. Not satisfied, Crawford moved up to the welterweight and again became the champion in the WBO version. Now he is back after the true title.

"Of course it would be the most beautiful thing if I was able to become a true world champion for the second time. That's why I took this opportunity. I will fight in my way, and will make the fight remembered by the world later," Crawford, 35, said when he arrived in Las Vegas from his training camp inturbation, Nebraska on Tuesday, July 25.

As a child, I watched the fight of great boxers. Now I am in that position, of course this is a dream come true. Especially if I am later able to become a true world champion in four world boxing bodies, something that has never happened before in the history of welterweight, said Spence Jr. (33).

Crawford is known for his intelligence in the ring. He was able to turn the situation from being pushed over the wind, and done in no time. Spence Jr's challenge, which naturally has a bigger posture than Crawford, silenced Crawford's intelligence so he couldn't find a way to get out of pressure and turn things around.

The technical ability margin of these two boxers is very thin. One very small mistake will determine the final result of the Spence Jr vs Crawford duel, which boxing addicts have been waiting for for two years.
