TERENCE CRAWFORD has moved on from a blockbuster fight with Errol Spence Jr, insisting their proposed welterweight title unification bout is ‘behind’ him.
Boxing fans across the world are itching for the pair, 33 and 31 respectively, to share the ring with one another.

Bud told DAZN’s Chris Mannix: “I’m not even worried about Errol Spence anymore.
“I already told everybody that fight is history for me. I’m not thinking or worried about Errol Spence anymore.
“That fight is behind me.”
