BLASTING SPENCE FOR BETRAYING DERRICK JAMES, GARCIA “YOU Do not WANT TO PAY HIM? What is THE PROBLEM?”

Ryan Garcia criticised Errol Spence following Spence’s decision to part ways with Derrick James. Spence made this choice after suffering a knockout defeat to Terence Crawford in a one-sided bout, marking the first loss of his career and dashing his hopes of becoming the first undisputed Welterweight Champion in the era of four belts. Despite activating a rematch clause to seek redemption, Spence’s plans were halted by a subsequent cataract surgery on his right eye. Now, Spence is eyeing a bout with Sebastian Fundora, the reigning WBO and WBC Junior Middleweight Champion, but first, he must secure a new trainer. Reports suggest that financial disagreements led to the split between Spence and James, with alleged underpayment being a central issue.

Garcia expressed his discontent with Spence’s handling of the situation, particularly the apparent reluctance to compensate James adequately for his services. Spence has remained silent amid the controversy as speculation swirls regarding his potential new trainers. Calvin Ford, trainer of Gervonta Davis and a close friend of Spence, has voiced interest in taking on the role. Additionally, Robert Garcia, known for his work with aggressive fighters like Marcos Maidana, has thrown his hat into the ring, emphasising the potential for a fruitful collaboration.

Reflecting on the split, James acknowledged the end of his professional relationship with Spence, indicating that while there were no hard feelings, he was now focused on other fighters under his tutelage. Despite the separation, James expressed support for Spence’s potential rematch with Crawford, provided Spence is in optimal health and condition.
