Spence vs. Ugas to unify three boxing belts

The bout will unify three of four recognized boxing titles, with the winner expected to challenge WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford.

Spence was involved in a terrible car crash in 2019 but bounced back quickly, defeating Danny Garcia in December 2020.

He was slated to fight boxing legend Manny Pacquiao in 2021 but had to withdraw after sustaining a retinal tear in his left eye in practice. Ugas stepped in as his replacement and the Cuban successfully defended his World Boxing Association (super) welterweight belt against Pacquiao.

Spence has not had a fight since his 2020 victory over Garcia.

Errol Spence Jr returns to the ring on Saturday to face off against Yordenis Ugás 🥊, who beat Manny Pacquiao in his last fight.
