Unified welterweight world titlist Spence Jr recently beat the former WBC world welterweight champion Shawn Potter and managed to win the bout after 12 rounds of boxing and could be on the cards to become the next IBO, WBO and WBA world welterweight champion, if he decides to fight some of the most talented fighters in the division and even one of the best pound for pound fighter in the world, however he will have to wait to fight anyone for now due to him being injured right now, he will return to the ring once he recovers from the injury.
“Spence is awake and responding and is listed in stable condition, He didn’t sustain any broken bones or fractures but does have some facial lacerations. He is expected to make a full recovery.” Said the representative in his statement. He was involved in a serious car crash on Thursday that forced him to go to the Dallas Hospital. The crash happened nearly at 3am on Thursday, when his Ferrari crossed a median into oncoming traffic and flipped over a few times, Spence ejected from the car when police found him. “He is currently resting with his family by his side,” his representatives said in the statement.
No one knows when the welterweight champion will be back to boxing and back to fighting, however the police are currently investigating the crash and noted down what could of happen and are still wondering how this has happened. It’s known that the Ferrari was speeding at the time and could have tipped due to the speed of the car and having to not injure anyone else in the oncoming traffic. He is going to have to hang the gloves for a little while, until he recovers.
