FIGHT SPORTS™ continues its run of acquiring rights to the biggest fights in the world, this time with the upcoming return of Manny Pacquiao taking on the undefeated Errol Spence Jr. for the World Welterweight Championship on August 21st from Las Vegas, USA.
Pacquiao, one of the best fighters of this generation and an 8-division World Champion, is a guaranteed first ballot hall-of-famer. Spence (27 – 0 – 21 KOs), a 2012 Olympian, current WBC & IBF World Champion, and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, will be facing his toughest challenge to date as he continues the road back from a car accident that nearly knocked him out of the ring forever.
