Spence opens up about how his take on life has changed completely since the disaster. 

The life and career of one of the top pound for pound boxers in the game came to an end on a fateful night in Dallas. The fighter claims that since the accident his whole outlook on life has drastically changed. And Spence now looks forward to making a return to the ring and defending his titles.

Less than two weeks after his victory over Shawn Porter, Spence lost control of his Ferrari while driving at high speed. The vehicle, after crossing the median and flipped multiple times. Since the fighter was not wearing a seat belt, he was tossed out of the car onto solid concrete.

Spence said I think angels were with me. I didn’t break any bones. Doctors couldn’t believe it. For someone to get ejected from the Ferrari, and land on the concrete. The only thing that was hurting was my neck, my hip, and both my shoulders. My shoulder was scraped up, and my leg was scraped up. I should have lost my life that night,” said Spence while highlighting his ordeal.

This pandemic really been helping me out a lot. Basically, recovery, taking my time and getting back. I’m already back; I’m 100%…No restrictions in my training except sparring. I can’t spar yet because I got my teeth knocked out, and they put three posts in my mouth. Once they heal, I get my permanent teeth, and then I’ll be able to spar,” explains the undefeated fighter.
