Jose Benavidez Jr. claims he has 'dropped' Errol Spence Jr. and has a sparring video to prove it
Jose Benavidez Jr. has made a bold claim regarding arguably one of the best fighters in the world. Errol Spence Jr. was the former unified welterweight champion before he was dethroned by Terence Crawford.
In a recent interview with Ellie Seckbach of ES News, Benavidez Jr. stated that he had a sparring video against Spence Jr. and made a bold claim:
"I got a video from a while back of me sparring [Errol] Spence. I haven’t posted that video but it’s a good video… Terence Crawford is not the only one who dropped Spence, I will tell you that much."
Take a look at the clip from the interview:
According to Jose Benavidez Jr., he has dropped Errol Spence Jr. in sparring. When Terence Crawford dropped the former unified champion, he became the first person to ever knock him down and eventually out in a fight. However, Benavidez claims he did it even before Crawford did it, but he has not released the video.
