The boxing world hasn’t seen Errol Spence Jr. inside the ropes in 848 days since that brutal July 2023 defeat to Terence Crawford. A night that abruptly halted one of the most dominant runs in modern welterweight history. But the former unified champion quietly reemerged earlier this month, appearing ringside in Fort Worth to watch Vergil Ortiz Jr. blast out Erickson Lubin in two rounds.
The visit wasn’t just symbolic. Ortiz and his team have continued to name Spence as their preferred future opponent ahead of Jaron “Boots” Ennis and Spence’s appearance reignited questions about whether “The Truth” is preparing for a return.
