Errol Spence was ringside for Terence Crawford’s victory over Shawn Porter and left to boos from the crowd as the wait to face his rival goes on.
Crawford scored another tremendous victory over leading welterweight contender Porter to become the first man to stop his opponent.
And his bitter rival Spence was present ringside in the arena to watch the duel unfold as a unification fight between the pair continues to be touted.
But he was booed by fans when he made his swift exit from the arena, after Crawford called for an American mega-fight against his welterweight counterpart.
“I tried to fight the other champions in the division, and that didn’t happen, so I went to the next best thing,” Crawford said after his victory.

“That boy [Spence] said he would never be at my fights and now he’s at my fights, you already know who I want.
“I’ve been calling him out all day. Maybe I’ll go up to 154. Maybe if Spence gets his tail out of his butt, he’ll fight me.”
Spence watched on from ringside as the pair continue to trade blows, with the whole boxing world hoping to see the pair finally do battle in Crawford’s next bout.
The rivalry has gone back and forth for several years as the pair sit at the pinnacle of the 147lb division with undefeated professional records.
And Porter declared Crawford the best opponent he has faced in the ring after Spence failed to stop him in a split decision victory back in 2019.
And this could be made possible after the WBC confirmed that the winner of Crawford’s clash with Porter was set to be ordered to face Spence next year.

“There is Crawford and Porter fighting on November 20 in a big fight, and hopefully the winner fights in the future with our champion Spence Jr,” Sulaiman previously told Sky Sports.
“I have been in communication with Errol. He is a fantastic human being, a miracle man who survived an accident.
“Now he is having a retina problem and had to pull out of fighting Manny Pacquiao.
“It has been a difficult time for him but he is very strong mentally and physically. He has begun training.”
Spence has been out of action since his ring return against Danny Garcia at the tail end of 2020.
He suffered facial injuries during a car accident in 2019 which prevented him from competing while he recovered.
And he was set to face Pacquiao in a mega-fight this year but was replaced by Yordenis Ugas after aggravating an eye injury during his training camp.
Crawford has confirmed he will now leave current promoter Top Rank in a bid to force through a fight with Spence, after Bob Arum failed to deliver the bout during his contracted spell at the promotion.
