After a long time, one of the most anticipated bouts in the world of boxing is materializing itself. WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford will be going head to head with WBA, WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. The bout takes place on 29th July to crown the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. With both fighters undefeated in their professional boxing career, fans will finally get the fight they want.
However, the boxing bout is not the only treat for hardcore fight fans. Apart from the anticipated boxing match, UFC President Dana White has also announced a stacked card for UFC 291 on 29th July. The card will be headlined by former interim lightweight champions Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje for the BMF title. Apart from the chaos in the main event, the card also features some of the biggest names in UFC.
While fans are excited for 29th July, they also fear that both fights take place simultaneously. Fans took to Twitter and expressed their worries and excitement regarding the fights. Coincidentally last fight for the BMF title took place during Canelo Alvarez‘s bout for WBO light heavyweight title. The main event was put on hold and boxing fans were made to wait due to many people watching Jorge Masvidal fight Nate Diaz.
