After the horrific crash, Spence Jr. spoke to ES NEWS for the first time while out watching the highly anticipated lightweight bout between Frank Martin and Michael Rivera.
Referring to the accident, he said, “I would say the top wasn’t seriously hurt, thank God for that guy. I wasn’t hurt, he wasn’t hurt, we weren’t seriously hurt. So it’s all a blessing. I think two days ago the kid got mad and the car hit. A lot of things we take for granted. We shouldn’t take that for granted.”
