Two unbeaten world champions meet in Las Vegas on Saturday and fans hope that Eminem can walk one of them out to the ring.
Terence Crawford will face Errol Spence Jr in what many regard as the biggest boxing fight in several years. Both men find themselves ranked in the top five best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. Some experts compare the upcoming fight to a Tyson vs. Holyfield match, and regardless of how close t truth they are emotions fly high right now. Even the song choice for a walk out becomes a sensitive and exciting topic.
Terence Crawford addressed his fans on Instagram, asking who should walk him out on Saturday.
A short video he posted, shows him considering to use an Eminem song for walking out and saying that it would be dope:
Of course, the suggestions to put on one of Em’s track’s popped up immediately. But there was more to come. He man himself hoped into the comment section in disbelieve, saying:
This is 2 crazy!!! You r 1 of my favorite boxers right now!
The boxer latched on the opportunity of a collab right there, messaging to Em:
Pull up Em! Let’s do some legendary shit
He added two goats emoji to his comment to make a point. And Eminem responded again. There was not much commitment in his reaction, just the slightly smiling face emoji and the thinking face emoji.
Still, it is enough to trigger a wave of expectations for the possible collab of a legendary rapper and a first class fighter.
Of course, after Marshall’s unexpected appearance at Ed Sheeran’s Detroit show last week, fans start believing that Eminem is raising from his slumber and might show more activity than in three previous years. And we all would only like to see them right.
