Errol Spence Shuts Down Comeback Rumors, What’s Next for His Career?

Errol Spence, the former unified welterweight champion, just put an end to all the buzz about his comeback. After being away from the ring for 17 months, Spence made it clear that he’s not planning a return to boxing anytime soon. The rumors about him training for a fight with junior middleweight champ Sebastian Fundora or even a rematch with Terence “Bud” Crawford? Well, Spence shut those down fast.

Spence Sets the Record Straight

A fan recently floated a fantasy fight scenario, suggesting Spence might be gearing up for a showdown with Fundora or a rematch against Crawford, claiming it would be an epic comeback. But Spence wasn’t having any of it. He quickly responded, telling the fan they were “dreaming” and pointed out that he hasn’t heard from anyone in months. That’s a pretty clear signal that Spence is not looking to lace up the gloves anytime soon.

This whole situation just adds to the mystery of Spence’s future in the sport. With no real updates from his camp and no word on any potential fights, it’s tough to know what the future holds. Fans are excited about the idea of his return, but Spence’s response suggests that he’s not chasing a comeback, at least not for now.

What’s Next for Errol Spence?

As Spence approaches his 35th birthday in March 2024, the clock is ticking on his career. After suffering a tough loss to Crawford in 2022, his path forward has been unclear. It’s been more than a year since he last fought, and with his recent comments about not hearing from anyone in months, it doesn’t look like a return is on the horizon.

At 35, and with the wear and tear from his long boxing career, it might be better for Spence to stay retired. The idea of a rematch with Crawford or a tough fight with someone like Fundora could be a risky move, especially considering how challenging it was for him in his last fight. Fans may need to face the reality that Spence’s time in the ring could be over and that comeback dreams might just be wishful thinking.

Ultimately, it’s clear that Spence isn’t about to rush back into the ring. His career seems to be winding down, and fans will have to accept that his days as a fighter might be behind him.
