Back in October last year, Terence Crawford became the first professional boxer to beat Errol Spence Jr. Subsequently, the latter, recently claimed that he had an eye condition which had been a long-standing issue for him. Furthermore, Spence Jr. underwent eye surgery for a cataract and revealed the news on social media. If all this was not enough, he went on to claim that his eye condition had contributed to his getting hit by Crawford’s lethal jabs in their last fight.
Errol Spence Jr. feels the cataract covering his eye was a major handicap that contributed to his disappointing loss. For his reasoning, Spence received immense backlash and criticism and many people considered it as nothing more than an excuse. Looking at Spence’s recent antics, Crawford has come up with a response and stated:
Last I can recall, we definitely get our eyes checked before every fight, I’m just saying. Any boxer would know that. But casual fans will say and make up anything.
Crawford has fired back at Spence on his social media for claiming that he lost to him because of his eyesight. In addition, the former has talked about the boxing procedure to add additional weight to his assessment.

Furthermore, Spence had initiated his rematch clause, but because of his eye surgery, their rematch has been canceled.
