“I’m an overachiever, nobody believed in me when I was coming up,” he said.
“It means everything because of who I took the belts from,”
“They talk bad about me and I kept praying to God I would get the opportunity to show the world how great I am.
“And tonight, I believe I showed how great I am.”
Spence was on a roll before the match and had been undefeated in 28 games as he headed to his 8th world title bout in a row. But he certainly met his master in Crawford, who extended his winning streak to 40 consecutive fights.
