Roy Jones Jr. Wants to Help Spence “Get Back Up”

Errol Spence Jr. has spent more than two years out of the public eye. Following his brutal knockout loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023. But on Saturday night, the former unified welterweight champion made his presence felt again. This time as an observer ringside at Dickies Arena. Watching fellow Texan Vergil Ortiz Jr. destroy Erickson Lubin in two rounds.

Now 35, Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) hasn’t fought since the Crawford bout. He hasn’t confirmed whether he’ll return to the ring. But a new development could change that narrative: Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. says he’s preparing to work with Spence in Dallas to gauge whether a comeback is realistic.
