Errol Spence Jr (26-0, 21 KOs) was seriously injured in an overnight crash along Riverfront Blvd in Dallas in the early hours of October 10. The 29-year-old flipped his white Ferrari several times at 2:43am while travelling at high speeds northbound in the 500 S.Riverfront Blvd.

His vehicle veered left over the center median onto the southbound lanes and flipped multiple times ejecting the driver who wasn't believed to be wearing a seatbelt.

The cause of the crash is still unknown at this point in time.

The talented Texan was last seen unifying the IBF and WBC Welterweight World Titles against two-time champion "Showtime" Shawn Porter (30-3-1,17 KOs) in an action packed fight at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on September 28.

Boxing News Now would like to wish the champ a full and speedy recovery.
