The boxing world was stunned when Terence Crawford secured a knockout victory over Errol Spence Jr. in what many consider the best performance of his career. Following the fight, talks of a rematch quickly surfaced. However, instead of a second bout with Crawford, Spence Jr. is now looking to make a comeback by facing Sebastian Fundora, aiming to recover from his recent defeat.
Spence Jr. is currently sidelined from the sport because he sustained injuries in his previous match, which included undergoing eye surgery. However, the ‘Big Fish’ is now preparing for a strong comeback, targeting a fight against Sebastian Fundora for the WBC/WBO junior middleweight championship.
This fight is a do-or-die moment for Spence Jr., who has been out of the ring for almost two years. At 34, he’s likely nearing the end of his boxing career, so he’ll be aiming to deliver his best performance yet.
On the other hand, this matchup is advantageous for Fundora, as Spence Jr.’s massive fan base could help generate significant attention and numbers for the fight. Prior to this, Spence Jr. had considered a rematch with Crawford, but Crawford declined it.

Crawford shocked the world in July 2023 by defeating Spence Jr. A second-round knockdown signaled trouble for Spence, who, despite showing heart, ultimately lost by ninth-round TKO. This fight marked Crawford’s return to the ring after over a year, where he claimed the undisputed welterweight title by beating ‘Big Fish.’
Since their fight, both fighters have transitioned to the 154-pound weight class, sparking rumors about a potential rematch between Spence Jr. and Crawford. After defeating Madrimov, the new WBA super welterweight champion dismissed the idea of facing Spence Jr. again, saying, “Nah.”
