Errol Spence Jr set for April unification fight against Yordenis Ugas at Dallas Cowboys’ 65,000-seater Texas stadium
ERROL SPENCE JR and Yordenis Ugas are set for a welterweight unification in April - with Dallas Cowboys' 65,000-seater stadium playing host.
Spence was set to face boxing legend Manny Pacquiao in August before pulling out with a torn retina suffered during sparring.
The unbeaten American then required surgery on the gruesome injury but has since returned to training.
Ugas was elevated from the undercard in replacement of Spence and stunned 43-year-old Pacquiao - who later retired after the upset loss.
According to , the Cuban is in talks to unify his WBA belt with Spence's WBC and IBF world title versions in two months time.
Spence, 31, has headlined at the AT&T Stadium before, with 47,525 in attendance to watch his March 2019 win over Mikey Garcia, 34.
Ugas, 35, had requested the three-belt 147lb unification but was instead ordered to face mandatory challenger Eimantas Stanionis.
It infuriated the 2008 Olympian, who hit out at the WBA for prohibiting his pursuit of a unification bout.
Shortly after however, Stanionis agreed to step aside and instead fight Radzhab Butaev.
And that fight is set to feature on Spence's pay-per-view title fight with Ugas, who confirmed talks were progressing.
