The welterweight unification bout between WBA and IBF world champion Errol Spence Jr. and the WBA ruler Yordenis Ugas will be taking place on April 16 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Both guys will be putting their belts on the line.
Spence, 31, will be coming off a 16-month layoff since his last fight against Danny Garcia in December 2020. Errol would have returned to the ring last August against Manny Pacquiao, but he suffered a torn retina eye injury while sparring for that fight.

Cuba’s Ugas, 35, replaced Spence and shocked the world when he defeated “Pac-Man” via UD to get the WBA world title.
