Errol Spence almost died when he crashed his Ferrari last year and told TMZ that the accident changed his life.
“Yeah you look at life kinda different.”
“You find out you’re not invincible, for one … so then you just care for things a lot more, making sure you spend time with your loved ones and things like that.”

“You never know when you’re gonna go. So for me, it’s spending time with my loved ones.”
Spence was ejected from his vehicle on Oct. 10, 2019.
The welterweight champ has fully recovered and intends to defend his title against Danny Garcia on Dec. 5.
“I didn’t wanna ease back into things. I feel like I’m the top guy in the division. I’m the top dog. So, I wanted probably the next best thing which is Danny Garcia.”
“So, I decided to continue with it and fight him in December.”
“It’d be an awesome fight at 160 pounds. Especially if we have it at the Cowboys stadium!”
“It definitely can happen.”
More from TMZ:
Garcia is no tomato can — he’s 36-2 with victories over stars like Zab Judah, Amir Khan, Paulie Malignaggi and more.
So, why rush in against a top opponent instead of taking a warm-up match?
And, if he wins, Spence already has another opponent in mind … Canelo Alvarez!
— Advertisement — Spence is referring to AT&T Stadium in Dallas — also known as Jerry World — and says fighting Canelo in front of 100,000 fans would be one of the biggest events in boxing!
Fingers crossed!
