Dsalita Terence Crawford’s trainer, Bernie ‘Tha Boxer’ Davies, is making a bold prediction for the upcoming fight between WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora and Errol Spence Jr. He believes Fundora will defeat Spence and force him into retirement after their match in October.
According to Bernie, Fundora’s victory over Tim Tszyu, a bigger puncher than Spence, in a split decision last March, proves his ability to handle powerful opponents. Davies doubts Spence’s success at 154 pounds, especially after his loss to Crawford in the welterweight division.
Although Bernie acknowledges Spence’s potential, he does not see him thriving in the junior middleweight category, particularly against Fundora, a towering 6’6″ fighter known as the ‘Towering Inferno.’ Despite Spence’s reputation, Bernie suggests that he should steer clear of facing Crawford and focus on other opponents.
Bernie believes that Spence will struggle against Fundora and may face retirement if he fails to secure a victory. As Fundora plans to vacate his WBO junior middleweight title, the pressure is on Spence to prove himself against the formidable opponent. With Crawford eyeing the undisputed title at 154, the stakes are high for Spence to make a statement in the ring.
In conclusion, Bernie sees a challenging road ahead for Spence in his clash with Fundora, suggesting that retirement could be a possible outcome if he falls short in the fight. The prospect of facing Crawford or other top contenders looms large for Spence, making his upcoming match crucial for his future in the sport.
