WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas is aiming to continue his big run with an upset win over WBC, IBF world champion Errol Spence.

Their high stakes unification takes place on Saturday, April 16, live on Showtime PPV from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Last August, Ugas picked up a shock upset win when he outboxed eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao over twelve rounds to secure a dominant decision.

Ugas was a late replacement in that fight for Spence, who withdrew with a serious eye injury.

Spence has been out of the ring since a 2020 decision win over Danny Garcia, but he's widely viewed as a big favorite to overcome Ugas in the fight.

Ugas, who is motivated by the support of his countrymen, is promising to once again upset the odds.

“I’m excited and ready to fight in front of a great fan base on Saturday night here in Dallas. Spence is a respectful fighter and we have nothing against each other outside of the ring, I’m just ready for action. I’m a competitor, I’m a warrior and I came to fight 12 rounds strong. That’s the most important thing of all. That alone should make Spence uneasy," Ugas said.

“I know I’m the underdog. I came here to win. I will fight whenever, wherever, in anybody’s backyard. Spence can say whatever he wants. I’ll fight the way I always do, exchanging blows and coming forward. I’ve always been an underdog - six years ago and now, I’m used to it. Spence is the rightful favorite as a unified champion in his home city, but I came here to pull off the upset. I want all of Cuba to know that I fight for them with all my heart and soul, and I will do just that on Saturday night.”
