No opponent confirmed yet but I've seen people mention Peterson and Figueroa as possible matches.

Hopefully Figueroa. Peterson should fight Spence then unification time...

Figueroa, Horn, Vargas, Ortiz, Brooks ... any of dem

omar figueroa? the fat **** with one fight at ww? this is who you all want your top welter to be fighting?

Great news. He just unified with Garcia and he'll be coming off a layoff so it'll probably just be a stay busy fight.

Plus he's still enjoying his recent marriage.

I bet its Omar over Peterson or someone else.

Peterson just vacated his whatever Jr belt below Thurman. If he was fighting Thurman next I suspect he'd have kept it. But since he can't hold that title & fight for another abc title I think they are gonna line up Spence vs Peterson.

It will be against a nobody cause he needs a tune up.
