Errol Spence Jr. Retreats Overseas Following Terence Crawford Loss: Frank Martin Sheds Light
In the aftermath of his bruising defeat at the hands of Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr., the once formidable welterweight champion, has retreated from the public eye, seeking solace beyond the confines of his homeland. Fans, accustomed to his electrifying presence in the ring, are left wondering about his whereabouts and state of mind.
Despite enduring a tumultuous period, marked by a debilitating cataract injury and the decision to forgo a rematch with Crawford, Spence Jr. has resurfaced in the gym, signaling a tentative return to form. Yet, concerns linger among his faithful followers, eager for reassurance regarding his physical and mental well-being.
Frank Martin, a fellow pugilist rumored to clash with Gervonta Davis, provided a glimpse into Spence Jr.’s current disposition during an interview on Cigar Talk. Responding to inquiries regarding the elusive champion, Martin painted a picture of tranquility, revealing Spence Jr.’s penchant for a life lived beyond borders. “EJ just living his life, you know. He [is] chilling…EJ barely in the country. Man, EJ living,” Martin disclosed with a hint of admiration.
The interviewer asked, “Tell me about EJ bro. We haven’t really seen or heard from him since the ‘Bud’ fight publicly, you know. What I mean interviews and all that sh*t… When you speak to him, do you feel like ni**a’s in a safe space? Do you feel like he still got that fighting spirit? Is EJ still EJ?”
Amidst speculation surrounding potential adversaries for his return bout, Spence Jr. remains guarded, his focus evidently centered on recuperation and rejuvenation. While names like Keith Thurman have been floated as potential challengers, Spence Jr.’s silence on the matter leaves fans eagerly anticipating his next move.
