Spence will try to snatch Crawford’s WBO title in his first undisputed fight in his career.
In a series of heated exchanges between the two teams in the press conference, Spence labelled his opponent as “too emotional”.
“I definitely have the mental edge,” Spence said.
“His team [were] heckling me and I just smiled. It comes with the territory. I’m not getting paid to fight them, I’m getting paid to fight him.
“So my attention is to him, not his coach not towards anybody else.”
Spence is currently in a fine run of form, enjoying a 28-fights unbeaten streak and being the holder of the WBC, WBA and IBF titles.
