Bob ‘BoMac’ McIntyre – Terence Crawford’s manager – has revealed that there will be a rematch between the undisputed welterweight champion and Errol Spence Jr., but no official date has yet been revealed.

McIntyre, who lived ten houses away from Crawford in Omaha, Nebraska during the boxer’s childhood in the 1980s and 1990s, announced Wednesday that the rematch clause had been triggered.

“(Crawford) texted me yesterday and said Spence activated his rematch,” McIntyre shared Professional boxing fans on Thursday. “The resit has been confirmed, but we don’t have a date yet and stuff like that.”

McIntyre added that he “hopes” the second Spence-Crawford fight will take place before the end of the year.

He also sent a dire warning to Spence’s camp, claiming that ‘The Truth’, who won the titles of the World Boxing Association (WBA) (Super version), World Boxing Council (WBC) and International Boxing Federation between 2017 and July (IBF) possessed, this year, will take a worse beating in his second fight against Crawford.

“I don’t know if it’s going to be 154 or 147 (pounds), but I’m sure he’s going to push the weight up,” McIntyre shared Battle Hub TV about the rematch between Spence and Crawford.

“But there will be no change in the decision,” he added. “The performance will still be the same (from Crawford). It could even be a little bit better, so (Spence) might want to watch out before triggering that rematch clause.”

Crawford defeated Spence three times in Las Vegas on July 29 before finally ending the fight at 2:32 of the ninth round on a technical knockout, cementing himself as one of the greatest welterweights in history.

The fight, the most anticipated boxing match in years, made Crawford the first undisputed champion in the 147-pound division in the four-cushion era that began in 2004.

Crawford also extended his KO streak to 11 bouts, the second longest active stretch.

He has won super lightweight and lightweight titles, in addition to welterweight, capturing the latter after rising in 2018.

What’s more, Crawford is the first male boxer to become the undisputed two-division champion in the four belt era.

“I only dreamed of becoming world champion,” said Crawford after his victory over Spence last month. “I am an overachiever. No one believed in me when I arrived, but I made everyone a believer.’
