# Carl Frampton Predicts ‘Historic’ Spence-Crawford Fight: “He’s Extra Special”

Former two weight world champion Carl Frampton has weighed in with a prediction for the fast approaching [undisputed welterweight world title fight between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford.](https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/12889408/terence-crawford-announces-errol-spence-jr-fight-for-july-in-las-vegas)

The mouth watering four belt unification has fans, pundits and fighters split down the middle, though Crawford is a slight favourite with the oddsmakers.

In a recent interview with [Boxing News](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb3fjJkRpYM&t=638s), Frampton admitted that he was in agreement with the bookies and believes the “extra special” Crawford will emerge victorious on July 29.

> “First of all, it’s a historic fight, one for the ages. You go back to the era of the ‘Four Kings’ with Hagler, Duran, Hearns and Leonard – that’s the sort of fight we’re getting here, an unbelievable fight with two unbelievable fighters.
>
> Errol Spence is the bigger man in the fight, you’ve got to remember Terence Crawford is coming up from lightweight and he’s fighting a man who fought at middleweight as an amateur. But he \[Spence\] has had a few issues outside the ring.
>
> I love both guys, I think they’re fantastic athletes and fighters. But I’m just edging Terence Crawford to find a way, I think he’s a bit of a genius, I think he’s an unbelievable fighter.
>
> I think Errol Spence is too, but Crawford is extra special.”

Both Spence and Crawford have a rematch clause in their contract, meaning that, after waiting for years for the two pound for pound stars to get it on, fans could see it twice in a matter of months.

The [T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas will play host to the historic clash,](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/errol-spence-jr-and-terence-crawford-set-for-july/) which will almost certainly see the winner elevated to pound for pound number one.
