IBF次中量级（147磅）拳王小艾洛尔 斯彭斯(22-0, 19 KOs)宣称，不会放弃面对WBA-WBC次中量级双冠王美国同胞吉斯 瑟曼 (28-0, 22 KOs)
斯彭斯希望自己有合适的比赛密度，并希望打统一战获得147这个级别的所有金腰带。
这位充满朝气，冲劲十足的冠军对天空体育说道：我的确希望获得更多的拳王腰带，在这个级别瑟曼手里有两条，杰夫赫恩手里有一条，让我们看看这些腰带未来全在谁的手里。此前我希望和瑟曼打一场，因为他完全恢复能够回到拳台，大约在2018一季度以后。所以我不能等的太久，今年我希望再打一场明年对决瑟曼。我追逐与瑟曼大战很久了，远在我第15场比赛获胜后就已经提出过，这是我一直梦想得到的大战。
我听说：有俩人将在10月~11月期间争夺对我的挑战权，目前我还没有强制性挑战者，我可以打一场自由卫冕战。
Spence: I've Been Asking For Keith Thurman Since I Was 15-0!
IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs) will not back away from a "dream fight" unification against WBA, WBC champion Keith Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs).
Both fighters had very big wins in 2017.
Back in March, Thurman won a twelve round decision over unbeaten Danny Garcia to unify the WBC, WBA belts. For Spence, he traveled over to Sheffield in late May to stop Kell Brook in eleven rounds to capture the IBF belt.
Spence is going to stay busy and focus on all of the big names at 1247-pounds - including newly crowned WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn, who last month upset Manny Pacquiao to capture the title.
"I'm definitely chasing world title fights," Spence told Sky Sports. "Keith Thurman has two of them. Jeff Horn has another one. We'll see what the future holds.
"Right now I'm trying to get a fight in before Keith Thurman, because he's supposed to be injured right now. He won't come back until early 2018 and I'm not going to wait that long. Hopefully I can fight before the year is over with and then fight him later next year."
"[Thurman is] a fight I've been wanting for a long time. Even when I was 15 and 0, I was asking for that fight. It's a fight I've wanted for a long time and that's my dream fight right now."
Spence will eventually have to make his mandatory defense, as the IBF recently ordered a final eliminator between Konstantin Ponomarev and Carlos Ocampo. While that situation sorts itself out, Spence will hang back and make a voluntary defense in the meantime.
"I heard two people are fighting each other either in October, November, for my mandatory spot, so I don't have a mandatory yet. I guess I'll make a voluntary," Spence said. |
