Errol Spence Jr. and Yordenis Ogas meet in the welterweight unification match that might be the biggest ticket in early 2022. Here’s how to watch.
It’s the week of Errol Spence Jr.’s battle against Yordenis Ogas, and there’s a lot of gear at stake.
Spence (27-0, 21 KOs) is the WBC and IBF welterweight champion, and Ugás (27-4, 12 KOs) is the WBA title holder. The winner takes control of the split.
Ugás became champion in August 2021, indirectly with the help of Spence.
Spence was supposed to fight Pacquiao in a unification struggle, but a physical examination showed that Spence had retinal tear. Ugás replaced Spence on the card and cornered brilliantly to wrestle the WBA belt from Pacquiao.
Pacquiao has since retired from boxing, and now Spence and Ugás meet in a pay-per-view match on April 16. Spence’s match against Ugas could be the biggest competition of the first half of 2022.
Spence reigned as the welterweight champion for five years. Hizami holds a title and is undefeated at the age of 32.
Ugás had some difficulties earlier in his career, but he is riding a four-game winning streak. The win over Pacquiao was the pinnacle of his career, which he hopes to beat against Spence.
Spence and Ogas lead a night full of boxing. Here’s how to watch.
