Welterweight champion Errol Spence, Jr. has been forced to withdraw from his August 21 fight against MannyPacquiao due to a retinal tear in his left eye. Pacquiao IOLsport
"I ask everyone to join me in praying for a full and complete recovery for Errol Spence Jr.," said Pacquiao."Thank God his physical examination discovered his eye condition before he suffered any further damage."
In Pacquiao's most recent fight, in July 2019, the Filipino southpaw beat Keith Thurman in a split decision to win his since-vacated WBA super welterweight title belt. Ugas has established himself as an elite welterweight since returning from a layoff in 2016 and was elevated to world champion in January after winning a WBA championship belt by defeating Abel Ramos last September.
The 35-year-old Cuban said it is an honor to get a chance to fight Pacquiao and that he is ready for the challenge despite the short notice."I've been in camp working hard with my coach Ismael Salas and I know together we will come up with a masterful game plan to combat anything Manny will bring to the ring."
