Yordenis Ugas steps in to fight Manny Pacquiao as a replacement for Errol Spence Jr.
Manny Pacquiao was earlier scheduled to face off against WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. on the same date. But unfortunately, 'The Truth' had to pull out of the fight due to an injury.

This will be Pacquiao's first boxing bout in two years. 'PacMan' was last seen in action in July 2019 when he took on Keith Thurman at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Pacquiao walked out of the fight with his hand raised as the judges scored the fight 115-112, 113-114 and 115-112 in the 42-year-old's favor.
