Bellew Predicts Outcome for the Spence vs Crawford Fight

Tony Bellew, a former world heavyweight champion, has shared his thoughts on the upcoming fight between the WBC, WBA, and IBF welterweight champion, Errol Spence, and the WBO champion, Terence Crawford.

Bellew, who hails from Britain, said that he finds it hard to pick a clear favorite for the much-anticipated bout, but he leans toward Crawford emerging victorious in the showdown.

"The fight we’ve waited so long for is finally here this Saturday night as Errol Spence and Terence Crawford finally settle their rivalry and tell us who is the world’s best welterweight. Because we’ve had to be patient for this fight, about six or seven years in the making, I’ve changed my mind many times who’ll win and I’m still not confident on a pick just days before the fight.

What we have here is two outstanding talents, probably at the peak of their powers, who both have no idea what it’s like to lose as a professional. It’s very rare that boxing throws these ingredients together for big fights, but this fight is as big as they come and I’m expecting a memorable battle that will have a definitive winner.

At this very moment, I must go with Crawford, and a lot of that selection is based on what Spence has been through lately. There was that serious car crash and pulling out of his fight with Manny Pacquaio. Is his body ready for the demands of a fight of this size? It possibly could be, but I don’t question Crawford’s condition the way I do Spence’s," Bellew was quoted as saying by DAZN.

It's worth noting that the fight for the undisputed welterweight champion title is scheduled for July 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
