Errol Spence Jr. eyes redemption. His career got derailed last year when Terence Crawford handed him a sound beating. Since then, a rematch has been on the card, and the American also activated a rematch clause to exact vengeance. However, the signs are not encouraging for his fans.
The fans recently had a sneak peek into ‘The Truth’s first training session after his cataract surgery. Notably, Spence Jr. has had troubles with his eye that have proved costly. He had to withdraw from a fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2021 because of a left retinal surgery. Similar issues persisted and resulted in ‘Bud’s “so many jabs and hooks” piercing through his body that eventually cost him the fight.
Errol Spence Jr.’s troubles with his eye that cost him the Terence Crawford fight
The 33-year-old boxer recently went through cataract surgery to fix his eye situation. Before getting into the square circle with Crawford, he had decided to get vital surgery done and updated fans on the same on his Instagram handle.
“It’s been past due. Sh*t was covering my eye. Why [do] you think I got hit with so many jabs and hooks? Still a great performance by bro [Terence Crawford],” Spence announced.
Now, the first visuals of the former unified welterweight champion hitting the gym have made the rounds on the internet. It looks like Spence Jr. has been away from the gym for a while, and therefore, he has gained some weight.
