Errol Spence Jr opens up on whether he considered retirement after Terence Crawford loss

Published

on

Ahead of his comeback, Errol Spence Jr has opened up on his extended layoff from the world of boxing, revealing whether a return to the sport was always definite.

Spence maintained his undefeated record through 27 fights to announce himself as the welterweight standout, defeating Kell Brook to claim the IBF world title before unifying the WBC and WBA titles with wins over Shawn Porter and Yordenis Ugas respectively.

When his long-awaited clash with Terence Crawford took place in July 2023, he brought three of the four world titles to the table, but would be dominated and stopped by ‘Bud’.

‘The Truth’ has not fought since, but his comeback against Australia’s Tim Tszyu has now been formally announced, as the Long Island-born southpaw seeks to prove that he still has plenty to offer.

Although, speaking with Main Event, Spence revealed that he considered retirement after his devastating defeat to Crawford, but now believes that his inactivity has served him well.

“Definitely, there were thoughts of retirement, but I feel rejuvenated. That long layoff has definitely helped me physically, it has definitely helped me mentally and I am ready to show everybody what  I have got left because I am sure there are a lot of doubters.

“A lot of people will be saying ‘oh, he is going to be a shell of himself’ or ‘he can’t come back’, but they always say that, eye injury, they said the same thing, car crash, they said the same thing, they are going to continue saying the same thing and they are just adding fuel to my fire.”

Tszyu-Spence will take place in Australia on July 25.
