the best
Terence Crawford 39-0 me 28 no he has a
title I have three titles and this is
for the Undisputed so I feel like this
is a legacy fight
I'm happy that the fight is here but I'm
not satisfied until my hand is raised
July 29th
I think it's gonna be a hell of a fight
I think we're gonna fight out of each
other
this is my moment to shine I'm prepared
to do whatever I have to do
this is the old school fight
this is what my dad used to talk to me
about when he used to watch fights 40
years ago when you had Tommy Hearns and
Ray Leonard and all the grace the Four
Kings
and people adored them because they're
really competitive Fighters blood and
guts
Terence Crawford has their dog mentality
I have that mentality and you put us
together you're gonna have all our war
action-packed fight old school just like
the greats
for anyone who hasn't noticed the super
fight season has made a triumphant
return
but this this fight it stands alone two
of the greatest boxers alive facing off
in their primes who wins not even Vegas
can predict all this screams vintage
classic
and to make it happen Spence and
Crawford sealed the deal with a phone
call
how delightfully old school
the first time we talked we talked
probably like 30 minutes 35 minutes and
I just let them know like hey what's up
let's fight I've been calling these guys
out since 2018. hey look who do you want
next well you already know who I want I
feel like I'm the guy that really made
it happen I want to fight Terrence
Crawford I don't want to fight anybody
else
on Saturday July 29th two undefeated
Champions will Zone in our Legacy this
error is the Terence Crawford area
definitely not man you ain't fought
nobody man what did I do to Sean Porter
that you couldn't do we call itself the
big fish right but what you do when the
fish get took out the water you
suffocating We're Gonna Roll him up and
smoke him when Arrow Spence and Terence
Crawford scrapped for an Undisputed
welterweight Crown they'll have each
other dance Partners in lockstep each
offering to summon magic Artistry and
Brilliance unlike ever before
that's the old school part the enticing
part
boxing at its most compelling risk
embracing Rock'em sock'em best the truth
hurts when I win this fight it'll be no
argument who's the best fighter in the
world oh I feel as if I was made for
this moment it doesn't get any bigger
than this boxing doesn't come much
better
for this Clash have the history books
ready
because if those best selves can recall
past Eris an old school will in a way be
refreshingly new
we know what's at state May the best man
win
[Music]
[Music]
a showdown like this Titan versus Titan
pretty much sells itself
still the camps descend on New York City
to sell anyway
leaving nothing to chance
[Music]

ass out there

[Music]
Harold Spence Junior's favorite football
team long ago elevated a simple star
into a symbol of success but when Spence
and his longtime trainer Derek James
Popped by for a visit it's clear which
star is most in demand
even NFL icons see Spence and our
Starstruck
good luck bro appreciate it man
appreciate it yeah
bro I mean I've been a Dallas Cowboys
fan my whole life it's kind of crazy and
surreal just stepping up all the players
and you know talking with them and
having conversation with them no we've
been talking like that oh yeah I already
know oh yeah getting that type of
respect from biggest franchise in the
world this means a lot
on the 29th and they win the Super Bowl
for me later on in the year
the fandom apparently is mutual
as star pass rusher Micah Parsons plots
a transition from fight fan to fighter
anyone down for a Sports Swap I'm in
championship fight wait right now what
if I break your nose three rounds that's
all I got he said three rounds let's go
three rounds and all
Gary Jones calling my team to talk about
what I did to you
friend my friend all right good to have
you out of here sir yes sir I'm glad to
be out here I have such an appreciation
for what early is as a athlete when I
think of the Dallas Cowboys I think he
rises to that level of excellence in
sports what it takes to go out there
just you in the ring with one other and
push through yes sir these guys have to
learn how hard it is to push through
to have success when I was growing up I
wanted to be a football player so my
dream was to play for the Dallas Cowboys
well it's a big one coming up for us
it's the last bet to get it at the
weight class that I'm at and I can move
up so I'm ready
as Spencer's Cowboys know well building
a meaningful Legacy takes time
his quest to unify the storied
welterweight division started way back
in 2017 on another Champions hostile
home turf
the best fighting the best calpro
canaro's fence putting it all on the
line here he's taking a knee and the
fight is over Errol Spence Jr has done
it the truth hurts as Harold Spence Jr
becomes ibf's Welterweight Champion the
goat is Unified titles to come to
Undisputed welterweight champion of the
world
[Applause]
fight for
drape that bad boy over an arm Spence
aim for Kell Brook initially then Sean
Porter then your Denny's ugas and in
five years he arrived at the
welterweight Summit only one belt away
Spence Jr is one of the best boxers on
planet Earth what's next everybody know
who I want this I want Terence Crawford
News man there is easy I know what time
it is baby terriers are coming for their
meal my motto's trash season man down so
as you see the shirt
that's the last door we even got the
kale Sean oh guys
and now we at Crawford Door so July 29th
try to walk through some more doors
it's rare for a champion to become
Undisputed rare still to need five years
for three belts but Spence is not normal
and those years for him were about
survival
whether a life-threatening car wreck or
a career-threatening eye injury
that he still fought
still one
still marched towards Undisputed
showcase the medal within
everything that I you know been through
especially in the last few years they
can make a movie out of my career you
know different trials and tribulations
that you know I've been through
he said that I'll get all his belts over
here and go on some car accident in
regardless of attached retina he was
able to unify a champ at three belts and
all he needs is one more Terence
Crawford is the only fight that I want I
couldn't think of a better scenario he's
a great fighter I'm a great fighter this
fight you know is happening now I think
it's happened had a great time Terence
is my dancing partner you know I feel
like we're gonna make each other great
it's gonna come down to fortitude he
faced a lot of things that shows it as
the mental fortitude that mental
toughness and I think that that's going
to play a big role in Arab becoming
Undisputed champ of the world
[Music]
[Applause]
Crawford
[Applause]
I'd like to thank everybody that took
the time out to come to this event not
only myself but for the community and
the kids I appreciate each and every one
of you y'all know what I'ma do y'all
already know
it ain't nothing new but today
[Applause]
[Music]
normally I do a send-off with like a
media family but this time we was just
like let's get them community in into it
and let's have a community event
I'm a firm believer you got to give back
to the community that
raised me to be the man that I am today
in Terence Crawford's hometown of Omaha
instead of the star in Dallas there's
only one star him
hence the send-off rally one last hurray
with supporters before departing for
camp in Colorado Springs
and where better to host than Omaha's
boxing epicenter the academy Crawford
opened as
we started b b boxing Academy because
it's a lot of crime in North Omaha and I
was one of those kids that didn't have
anything to do it's probably two options
jail or dead
What drew me to boxing was I was in a
neighborhood fight what's his name
Canelo
my mom told me to go to college and try
to do something else with my life
because I wasn't going to be my dad
he always told me I was gonna be a
Million Dollar Baby
as Crawford made the impossible routine
he proved mom wrong and Dad right but
don't mistake that for smooth
the streets nearly swallowed young Bud
who was shot and survived and saved by
the sport that now defines him
all right no disrespect but we frying
fish
[Applause]
it's supposed to be here but he's not
here
I knew for a fact I should have been in
the bed sleeping until they called me I
swear
stay in the bed Bernard don't rush stay
in the bed you know how it is I know
in order to not just box but conquer
Crawford built an unbreakable team and
today Bernard Davis red spikes Esau
diegas and head trainer Brian bomack
McIntyre are headed to the mountains to
prep for the precipitous climb ahead
those individuals know what the real
Terence Crawford not just boxing Terence
Crawford they family hi guys
them the type of people that want the
best for you bring it in y'all come on
you got time we got to go when something
like this happens it's like they
accomplishing it as well amen
there he is and we gonna watch him there
you go
catch him here oh Stand double hook give
me a trip look right right in the hook
hey Cole listen listen our whole thing
today is they're trying to break them I
want them to say I quit
especially you
I bet you I say I make you say I quit
let me try to hit you in your mouth I
bet you don't bet let's bet stop playing
before you get hurt work time
we've been coming out here
just to get away getting away from all
the distractions at home my mind is
shifting from pre-camp and working out
to actually the object at hand that's
the reason why we come out here you can
get a clear view of what's ahead of you
make no mistake this bud is a badass he
can switch stances moves like a dancer
and those shots they thump after turning
pro in 2008 Crawford fought 39 times
recording 30 Knockouts and becoming the
Undisputed super lightweight champion
boxing's first floor Bell holder for
more than 12 years
spin's been on my mind ever since I
moved up into the division the fans and
the media wasn't calling for Sean Porter
to fight Terence Crawford when Sean
Porter had a title the fans wasn't
calling for ugas to fight Terrence
Crawford when he had a title they was
saying oh fight Arrow
you know keep going I trained my ass off
to be where I'm at
I deserve those fights
huh Ring magazine champ two times it was
frustrating but I had to take what I had
to get
[Music]
ah boxing a sport where clamor doesn't
always equal fights made
but while Crawford eyed the big fish he
took the fights available to him
becoming a three division world champion
and bludgeoning many a full
[Applause]
after we moved to 147 pounds to be
honest with you man
licking our chops from day one them guys
is just getting us more prepared to step
in the ring July 29th because this is
the fight that we always wanted
despite this light graduating from
college it's like walking across the
stage and grabbing that diploma come on
come on
hit you in your mouth
wrestle around I'm 53 years old I got
time for that you put my two weeks Arrow
could easily moved up to 154 and said
man I'm not fighting that dude I command
them for staying at 147 and doing what
he said he was going to do and that's
fight Terence Crawford and I respect him
for that
we work backwards from his training so
his output has to match his input
especially we've got weight to lose
he's about to go to the gym shortly
after this so uh this is just fuel for
that workout
the nutritionist Who crafts his meal
plan agrees with Spence's commendable
Quest
his stomach though might like a word
in order to remain at welterweight the
big fish must stay as lean as possible
Outsourcing the scales to focus on the
stakes
he made a promise that he was going to
get all those belts at 147 but as you
get older it's not easy to keep making
that way but I used to do it would be a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich and
then I put eggs inside of peanut butter
and jelly sandwich
before I met him two years ago he'd
never had a camp house he'd done
everything from home everything by
himself killing himself from a147 please
Smiler
this is smarter and less stuff on it
it's really essential for him to do it
the right way the worst thing right now
is to be to starving for the biggest
night of his life it's a huge weight off
my shoulders you know not worrying about
a wrong way for breakfast Long East for
lunch smoking you for dinner and just
having somebody else do that I put hot
sauce and everything I remember last
time I made this Bolognese it took me
like five six hours I was cooking it
down all day and he picked up Asian hot
sauce and went
the heat as they say is on which is why
after fueling Sven swaggers into the gym
to ramp up for the most important Camp
of his life
[Music]
I feel like Terrence Crawford he's a guy
is gonna go for the kill especially if
he if he smells blood who wants the
lights turn off and the bell rings you
know it's basically it's wartime
I feel like that's a legacy to find a
fight
[Music]
for a boxing champion it never hurts to
have a takedown specialist in your
corner for today's sparring session
that's Micah Parsons Cowboys All Pro
Edge rusher a man who admires Spence
because he hits like him
it's just a different game no one can
save you out there you're on your own if
I miss attack I got someone to get my
bag you know if I drop the ball someone
can pick me up you have Earl drops the
ball that's over
so
put in the time
I made up my mind taking the sign from
the Divine better than ever I'll never
resigned
while his opponent seeks an edge high
above sea level Spence hunts for his in
the Searing Texas heat he knows in the
pick 'em Blockbuster ahead the smallest
of margins could tip the outcome
[Music]
it's just a tough gritty gym it's old
school if you can get through being in
100 some degree jump sparring and
training once you get in front of those
Bright Lights it's pretty easy for me
the conditions doesn't stop we spared
like 12 or 13 Rounds today he's a worker
he understands like what it's going to
take to be successful
that's why he's the best coach in Boston
because he don't try to pamper me when I
look like he's gonna say I look like I
don't care how big you get and nobody
get pampered within the uncle team me
like I'm a grown man appreciate you man
ain't got nobody telling you hey tighten
up that's how you fall off that's how
you get up there and drive in
Heavenly Father we're just so
for the moments that we get together
together as family bless this food bless
all the hands that prepared it amen
all right all the kids come out
[Music]
Father's Day Spence shifts to the title
he's most proud of
family man
thus the celebration
relatives a feast and Errol Spence Jr
and Senior admiring the life they've
built
while pushing towards an epic
celebration they've pegged for Late July
but now we kind of like brother and
brother
eat the whole head the brain I like it
in soup I think our bond is unseparable
I feel like our relationship is you know
right on point I feel like it's super
solid uh super genuine
for a brood that's authentic true to its
close-knit core no less than handmade
gifts will do so Spence's daughter's
Violet and Ivy prove nature and nurture
presenting their creations and
highlighting a super fight subplot
two boxers who value family above all
[Music]
[Music]
right here
[Music]
I hear the altitude is great
it ain't nothing to do but train really
it's definitely different than being at
home
being away from my family this is
definitely frustrating you know but
that's part of my job
they gotta eat
and you got to feed them so this is what
you're doing it for
every Camp my kids come out for at least
a week
it's just so comfortable having them
there it's motivating
that's right
we working on Father's Day
got my son with me
gonna enjoy this day
it's a beautiful day today
why not work out
right now it worked out
[Music]
thanks all my father's out there man
throw it to be away from him and then to
see their face and to have them yelling
fighting arguing and being in Daddy Mode
this is what I do it for
when you look at me and arrow me and him
do this for the fans
and as well as for both of our families
[Music]
July 29th you're gonna see a new
Undisputed welterweight champion of the
world and he's going to be
from Omaha Nebraska
for years two dancers pursued ideal
Partners
while surviving tragedy and turmoil
each came to believe with unflinching
certitude that to ascend even higher
they simply needed the right opponent
Terence Crawford he's a mean fighter
he's the guy that he gets you hurt he's
gonna go for The Knockout when I met
with Force I'm gonna give you before
it's right back that's you know a match
made in heaven
I'm the same way it's gonna come down to
determination and willpower and see who
breaks first
[Music]
[Applause]
Barrel Spence Jr and Terence Crawford
the final steps in their Dance with
Destiny won't be taken until they stand
together guards up fists flying anything
that I do I want to win
I got a lot of tools to beat him these
Champions having circled for years were
defined by obstacles surmounted now
though it's forward onward upward for
those who stuck with them for legacy for
boxing amid a remarkable era for both
Saturday July 29th marks a pivot point
soon they'll Dawn dancing shoes and move
dance tangle Boogie the question is
in which direction
we finally got a future Undisputed
chairman of the world July 29th myself
on Saturday July 29th Errol Spence Jr
will fight Terence Crawford for the
Undisputed Welterweight Title
