Terence Crawford has been in discussions to fight Errol Spence Jr. in November
However, different TV networks and promotional stables obstructed one of the most exciting fights in boxing.
This was until Crawford, now 34, walked out on Bob Arum, the legendary promoter, and his Top Rank banner in November.
The three-division champion was able to negotiate as a free agent with Spence's Premier Boxing Champions supporters.
ESPN reports that a deal is in sight and there are no obstacles to reaching it.
Crawford, a pound for pound star, defeated Shawn Porter (34), in 11 rounds eight month ago. However, he has not returned since.
Spence, 32 years old, took ten rounds to beat Cuban Yordenis Urgas, 36 into submission in April.
He also added the WBA belt and the WBC and IBF titles to his unification.
Crawford's WBO belt is now the only piece missing from Spence's collection. This makes the fight a rare, undisputed fight.
Recently, the Texan was questioned about how discussions are progressing for all-American unification.
Spence said to Fight Hub, "It's closer than ever." It's impossible to imagine it happening if it doesn't now.
"It's much closer than it used be. It's going to happen, I believe.
