Two champions will enter AT&T Stadium on April 16, but only one will hold all the gold. Errol Spence Jr. will be putting his WBC and IBF welterweight titles on the line against WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas.
A 2009 Golden Gloves champion, Spence made his pro debut in 2012. In 2017, he beat Kell Brook for the IBF welterweight title and has defended it five times. In a fight to remember, Spence beat Shawn Porter in Sept. 2019 to win the WBC title.
Just two weeks later, Spence was involved a horrific solo car accident where his Ferrari flipped multiple times, ejecting him from the car. It landed him in the intensive care unit.
He returned to the ring in Dec. 2020 to beat Danny Garcia and retain his titles.
Spence was supposed to fight Manny Pacquiao, but Spence suffered a torn retina in his left eye before the bout and was unable to compete. Ugas then stepped in, beating Pacquiao to set up this fight.
Ugas made his pro debut in 2010. After losing to Amir Imam in 2014, he went on an eight-fight winning streak and secured a title opportunity. He lost to Porter in 2019 for the WBC welterweight title but rebounded by winning three in a row. The WBA (Regular) champion after beating Abel Ramos, Ugas took care of Pacquiao to retain the WBA (now Super) welterweight title. Pacquiao would retire following the fight.
