Unbeaten welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. hosted a media workout at his gym in Dallas Tuesday as he prepares for his homecoming title defense at Dallas Cowboys Headquarters against undefeated challenger Carlo Ocampo Saturday, June 16 live on SHOWTIME from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.
The IBF titleholder spoked to media at the R&R Boxing Club along with trainer Derrick James, as the two prepare for Spence's second title defense after winning the title from then unbeaten champion Kell Brook last May.
Tickets for the event, which is promoted by TGB Promotions in association with Man Down Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at www.SeatGeek.com.
DERRICK JAMES, Spence's Trainer
"Errol is an incredibly hard worker in the gym and he always has been. We're just making sure he's on task and able to be peaking on June 16. I have no worries that he's going to be distracted by fighting at home.
"There can definitely be a lot of distractions at home, but Errol is determined and I know he has the mentality that will allow him to put on his best performance. We've been preparing for anything Ocampo could possibly bring to the ring.
"I'm excited that my two daughters will be able to come to the fight. This night is all about our community and giving everyone here something to cheer about. The city has indicated that they're really coming out to support Errol and he's going to reward them.
"If we keep putting in the work like we have been, everything is going to come naturally on fight night. We've taken a look at what Ocampo likes to do and we'll be ready. At the end of the day, I think Errol is going to put on a great performance for this city."
