Spence laid down the gauntlet against his fellow American with his announcement for the fight on Instagram.

He said: "Finally giving the fans what they want❗️.

"This one a throwback fight on paper but it could be a one sided ass whooping one of the biggest fight of the century!"

Crawford's own announcement was more low-key, but just as potent.

He declared: "Time to reel in the big fish 🎣. No more talking @errolspencejr ‼️ Let’s get it 💪🏾."
