Boxing News: Errol Spence Makes Shocking Revelation Ahead Of Yordenis Ugas Fight

Errol Spence Jr. is confident about his boxing return despite having endured a couple of setbacks in the past.

In his first fight after the terrifying car accident in 2019, Spence scored a unanimous decision win over Danny Garcia.

The WBC and IBF welterweight champion was supposed to take on then-WBA champion Manny Pacquiao last year but was forced to withdraw due to a retinal tear to his left eye.

Yordenis Ugas stepped in to replace Spence and ended up retiring Pacquiao.

Now that Ugas and Spence are slated for a unification bout in April, “The Truth” stressed that nothing about his eye condition will be an issue.

“The eye’s been good,” Spence said during a press conference on Wednesday, March 2 via Boxing Scene. “Sparring’s been great. I’ve been sparring. I’ve been looking good. Of course, it’s been getting hit, so you know, it’s on point, it’s great. It’s feeling good. Have no worries at all, so don’t y’all worry.”

“I’m just built different,’’ he added. “There was no time I felt like it was over. I felt it was going to be a hard road back. I just had to keep working.’’

Ugas, meanwhile, share the same sentiment as Spence.

According to the reigning WBA welterweight titleholder, he expects his opponent to come in on his best form.

“I anticipate the best [from Spence],” Ugas told ESPN Deportes. “He showed it already when he came back from the accident. He beat Danny [Garcia] in good fashion and I'm expecting an even better Errol Spence. I don't think anything is going to affect him."

When Ugas took Spence’s place to face Pacquiao, many slept on him as people believe he’s nowhere near the Filipino boxing legend’s realm.

This time, the Cuban feels the same way as he is certain Spence is heavily-favored.

Nevertheless, Ugas remains unfazed and insists that the outcome will also be the same.

"As I said with [Manny] Pacquiao, that I was ready for a night like this, now I am ready to fight at the highest level in the sport and give my best to the fans who watch the fights, who follow me and support me. When I fought Pacquiao, the majority was siding with Pacquiao [to win],” the 35-year-old explained. “Now it's going to be the same, but I'm going to show what I'm made of and unleash the best that I have.”

Ugas also pointed out that after Spence, he will immediately go after WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford.

“[If I beat Spence], I would like Crawford,” the Cuban shared. “I think that, in this fight, I don't have to speak badly or be boastful. The only thing I will say about this fight is that the winner agrees to fight Crawford, that the winner continues to go for the undisputed crown. On my part, that is what I want to do.”
