Expert Warns Spence: “That Guy Will Turn You into Chicken Nuggets”

Former world champion and TV analyst Timothy Bradley believes ex-titleholder Errol Spence Jr. may be tempted to fight again — but he strongly advises against it.

“Rumor has it Spence is coming out of retirement. Errol, don’t do it unless you need the money. You don’t need boxing. You’ve done enough.

In the end it’s your call — just like Manny Pacquiao and everyone else crawling out of the woodwork chasing Turki’s money. If you need the cash, I get it. But think about your health. We aren’t fools.

Spence’s neurological issues don’t just disappear. You can mask them for a while, but they come back. Right now you might feel fine — training, looking after yourself — leave it at that. If you step in with Vergil Ortiz Jr. it’s over, bro. He’ll turn you into chicken nuggets. He’s no joke.

I know you were a big fish. But you’re not the big fish anymore, bro — maybe you’ve turned small-time. Don’t jump in cold trying to prove something without a tune-up. If you’re coming back, do it right.

And if you come back and go straight in with Ortiz — I’m putting my money on Ortiz, no question. He’s stopping you, Spence. Promise,” said Bradley.

Errol Spence Jr. (28-1, 22 KOs) last fought in the summer of 2023, when he was stopped by Terence Crawford and has not boxed since.
