Errol Spencer Jr. has been rated by most people as the best boxer in this class since he won the IBF sub-middleweight gold belt in 2017. After beating Shawn Porter in 2019 to win his second world title, this view was embraced by many boxing fans.
In addition to Spencer Jr., the current WBO sub-welterweight gold belt holder is Crawford, the WBA Super Boxer Golden Belt in the hands of Cuban Eudinis Ugas, who has won 12 of his last 13 games, his biggest victory being the defeat of world champion Pacquiao in the first eight tiers. Last August, the two played at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Originally it was Spencer Jr. He was chosen as the last opponent of Pacquiao's career, but was forced to withdraw due to a torn or detached retina. Ugas had a lifelong chance to face him, and he didn't waste time defeating Pacquiao completely.
To further cement his legacy, Ugas will now seek to become a Treble winner as he and his team are engaged in intense negotiations for the spring match against Spencer Jr., a united war that could be fought in April. Ugas has come a long way in his career to reach this point, and it is difficult for him to express his joy.
"Very respectful of Spencer. He is a fighter in the ring and off the field," Ugas said in an interview with ESNEWS. "I believe I'm the best, I'm really excited, super excited. I'm ready to put them on. I've been waiting for a long time. ”
Spencer Jr. played only one game in two years, winning danny Garcia in a unanimous decision in December 2020.
