Spence, who beat Shawn Porter a month prior to the accident to claim the WBC belt, still bears the scars from that frightening night.

"I wanna fight a top name; whether it’s Manny Pacquiao, Terence Crawford or Danny Garcia.

"I was supposed to fight him [Garcia] in January, but I had the accident. But those are who I’m looking to fight. I’m the top dog in the division. I am the king of the division."
