He later claimed that the accident came while he was suffering with post-traumatic stress disorder, before pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated.

Boxing fans are hoping that Spence Jr will fight rival Terence Crawford next, with the latter wishing the 32-year-old well following his latest car accident.

After hearing about Spence's collision, Crawford said: "I wish him well. I hope he's alright - mentally, physically and emotionally.

"This is just a sport. We're all fighting for that number one spot, so it ain't personal. It's just business."
