All hell has broken loose in Las Vegas ahead of the undisputed welterweight clash between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford.
As the participants’ friends, fans, and family descend on Nevada for the fight event of the year, clashes have inevitably happened between both sides.
Incidents in Las Vegas ahead of undisputed welterweight fight
Funnily enough, none of what transpired has involved Spence or Crawford, just one of their sisters.
One of the first incidents to catch the eye included the Charlo brothers, a running theme through three scenarios that blew up on social media.
Charlo brother’s wives fight each other
As captured by Latisha Crawford, Terence’s sibling, the wives of the Charlo’s fought each other in the parking lot at what looks to be the back of the MGM Grand Casino.
Video captured and shared by Latisha shows Jermell Charlo’s other half pushing Jermall’s partner to the ground amid punches flying.

Caleb Plant slaps Jermall Charlo
A second and probably more shocking happening was seeing Caleb Plant finally land a slap on another boxer’s face.
Plant, the former super middleweight champion, once attempted to palm Canelo Alvarez at a press conference. He missed and subsequently took a lightning-fast punch for his trouble.
Afterward, he sported a cut eye.
This time, Plant learned from his experience and managed to hit Charlo before being ushered away by security.
It’s another sign that tensions are boiling over in Vegas and that something worse could happen as entourages mingle backstage and on the strip.

Adrien Broner admits to cheating on his wife in Vegas
The trio of eye-opening events on the Boulevard is completed by the man who can’t avoid problems. Adrien Broner gave an interview to TMZ where he appeared to cheat on his wife with another woman.
Deciding to tell TMZ that the women he sampled in Vegas are not as good as his other half wouldn’t have done the returning welterweight any good.
They say bad things come in threes. Broner could be in trouble of his own, making it four.

Those incidents threatened to deflect from a super-fight on Saturday night as Spence and Crawford battle it out for all the belts at 147.
Spence aims to defend the WBC, IBF and WBA while adding Crawford’s WBO version. For his money, Crawford hopes to become a two-weight undisputed champion and the face of the division.
It’s all going off in Vegas – big time!
