Talking about locking horns once again Spence Jr. said, “Hell yeah, we got to do it again. I'm going to be a lot better, it's going to be a lot closer. It's probably going to be in December because it's set before the end of the year.”

Recapping his performance against Crawford, Errol Spence Jr. described Terrance Crawford to be the better boxer as he had better timing on his jabs. While speaking in the post-fight conference, Spence said, “He was the better man. He was using his jab, and my timing was a little bit off. He was catching me in between shots. I make no excuses.  He was on a hotter jab, he was timing his jab and he had his timing down on point.”

Further, Errol Spence Jr. also stated that his rematch with Terence Crawford wouldn’t necessarily be a welterweight bout and could move up to the junior middleweight (154 lbs) division. “It definitely doesn’t have to be at 147,” he said in his post-fight press conference. “I’m in the hurt business. 147 was kinda hard for me, too. I was already talking about moving up in weight and challenging (Jermell) Charlo, so 154 wouldn’t be out of reach.”
