Boxing’s schedule has obviously been heavily impacted by COVID-19. We’ve seen some major fights nixed due to the lack of a live gate to generate the revenue needed to pay the top fighters, and other matchups scrapped outright because they tested positive for the virus. With that said, December is shaping up to be one hell of a finale to a really awful year, starting with the return of one of boxing’s pound-for-pound best.
On Saturday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr (26-0, 21 KOs) returns to the ring for the first time in well over a year.
