Unbeaten #8 WBA welterweight contender Errol Spence Jr. (17-0, 14 KOs) will be facing #7 IBF Chris Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KOs) in a scheduled 10 round fight next Friday on September 11th on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike TV on undercard of the Adonis Stevenson vs. Tommy Karpency fight card from the Ricoh Coliseum, Toronto, Canada.
This is a fight where the 25-year-old Spence needs an impressive victory so that he get moved up higher in the WBA’s rankings. Spence wants a shot at WBA “regular” welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman, but without a high enough ranking to force a fight against him, it enables Thurman to keep fighting soft touches like Luis Collazo, Leonard Bundu and Robert Guerrero rather than a dangerous guy like Spence
