Errol Spence Jr. under fire for his physique: ‘Errol, go back to the gym’
Errol Spence Jr. has faced criticism from fans regarding his recent physical appearance, even though his name hasn’t been in the headlines much since his loss to Terence Crawford last year
The image that sparked the controversy shows him standing next to Brian Norman Jr., the newly crowned welterweight champion, but it wasn’t Norman who grabbed boxing fans’ attention.
Instead, fans focused on Spence‘s appearance, which many deemed out of shape, leading to a wave of online comments.
Fans React to Spence Jr.’s Appearance
Danny (@dantheboxingman) shared the photo on his X account, showing Norman Jr. wearing a “Pablo Escobar” T-shirt, standing beside Spence Jr.
The former world champion is dressed in a white shirt and orange shorts, giving a thumbs-up.
This image surfaced nearly a year after Spence’s highly publicized fight with Crawford, and it seems to have stirred up fans once more.
After his defeat, Spence activated the rematch clause last September, but any hope of seeing Crawford lose his undisputed status faded after news of Spence‘s eye surgery broke.
In the months following, Crawford moved up to 154 pounds, leaving the welterweight division behind.
Fans caught a glimpse of Spence at the Gervonta Davis-Frank Martin title fight press conference.
Rumors then surfaced that Spence would debut at light middleweight, potentially facing Sebastian Fundora.
“The Towering Inferno” gained attention with his victory over Tim Tszyu on March 30, during a PBC-Amazon Prime card.
Reportedly, Spence and Fundora‘s teams have tentatively agreed to fight in October, though updates on the bout have been scarce.

Concerns Over Weight Gain
However, for many fans, the focus wasn’t on the upcoming match but rather on Spence Jr.’s appearance.
One fan commented, “Errol, get back to the gym; Fundora is waiting for you,” possibly alluding to the formidable size of Fundora, who stands at 6’6 with an 80-inch reach.
Another fan suggested that Spence, having relaxed his training regimen after the Crawford fight, might have naturally gained weight, saying, “Errol looks like he’s 190 pounds.”
One user estimated that Spence was somewhere between 160 and 168 pounds, commenting, “Errol is huge; he looks like a middleweight.”
Despite the speculation, it’s possible Spence has been training hard to prepare for the Fundora fight.
