On Saturday, April 16th the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys will serve as host to the three-belt welterweight unification bout between Texas’ own Errol Spence Jr (27-0, 21 KOs) and Cuba’s Yordenis Ugas (27-4, 12 KOs). Spence holds the WBC and IBF championships, whereas Ugas picked up the WBA title last year in an unexpected late call-up.
Last year, Spence was supposed to unify his titles with Manny Pacquiao, who had the WBA belt at the time. When Spence withdrew due to a retinal tear, that paved the way for Ugas, who was scheduled for that event’s undercard, to take the title away from Pacquiao and send the Filipino legend into retirement.
