Oscar De La Hoya should?ve used his jab a lot more. I would use my jab, I would throw combinations, I would work the body and then work the head.

However, it should be noted the precise details of the agreement, including Spence Jr.’s earnings from these deals, remain unavailable. Errol Spence Jr’s childhood and early life Errol Spence Jr. was born on March 3, 1990, on Ney York’s Long Island. He’s a long-time Texan, residing primarily in Dallas. Reportedly he spent some time at DeSoto High School, known for its successful football program. Until he was a sophomore in high school, he played football for Cedar Hill high school as well. It should be highlighted that Spence Jr. generously donated sixteen thousand water bottles to the DeSoto Independent School District’s student food program three years ago.  Errol Spence Jr’s family As far as his family is concerned, Errol Spence Jr. beams with pride as a father of three children. In 2015, he welcomed his first daughter Ivy; in 2017, he received his second, Violet. In 2020, he introduced his son Errol Dallas Spence to the world.  Errol Spence Jr. has never tied the knot. As we know, he has never spoken publicly about his family life, including the identity of his children’s biological mother. However, he has a girlfriend who goes by the name Debra. She is reported to be an online boutique owner called Shop Ashra.  They enjoy maintaining privacy regarding their relationship. Errol Spence Jr. was born to Errol Spence Sr., who retired as a FedEx contractor, and Debra Spence. His paternal ancestry is Jamaican, while his mother’s is African-American. Errol Spence Jr’s boxing career Errol Spence Jr. always had a love for boxing. But it wasn’t until he was fifteen years old, when Spence Sr. took him to a boxing gym, that he started training. Incidentally, the latter contacted famed, multi-award-winning trainer Derrick James to take his son under his wings. Soon the two formed a formidable partnership that continues to this day. 2008 at age eighteen, he took home the International Amateur Boxing Association championship. He dominated the Unites States National Amateur tournament competition for the next three years &#8211; 2009, 2010, and 2011.  He became the 2009 Golden Gloves champion (Salt Lake City). He received a silver medal at the Little Rock Golden Gloves a year later. The same year, in San Antonio, he held the Unites States National PAL Championships and won the gold medal.  Finally, at the 2012 U.S Olympic trials, he stood first in the 147 lbs. Unfortunately, he lost the quarter-final bout to Russia’s Andrey Zamkovoy at the London Olympics. Spence Jr’s amateur record displayed 135 wins against two losses when he was ready for the professional arena. In November 2012, Errol Spence Jr. commenced his hugely successful professional career. His fight against Jonathan Garcia in Indio, California’s Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, ended with a knockout win. He participated in twenty-one bouts for the next four years, winning all, with eighteen coming his way through knockouts. Close to seven of his opponents were packed off in the first round. On May 27, 2017, Errol Spence Jr. grabbed his first world title, IBF Welterweight, knocking down Englishman Kell Brook in the eleventh round at Sheffield’s Bramall Lane. 1.Versus Lamont Peterson &#8211; Errol Spence Jr. met fellow American Lamont Peterson at the Barclays Center in New York on January 20, 2018, for the first title defense. The duo reportedly knew each other from their amateur days.  But on the fight night, ‘The Truth’ outboxed and outclassed Peterson so much that the latter’s corner had to throw in the towel at the beginning of the eighth round. 2.Versus Carlos Ocampo &#8211; Spence Jr. faced then-undefeated Mexican Carlos Ocampo at The Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, five months later on June 20 for the second title defense. ‘The Truth’ closed the deal within the first round as a solid left to the body sent Ocampo down.  3. Versus Mikey Garcia &#8211; Nine months later, on March 16, 2019, Errol Spence Jr. met Mikey Garcia for his third title defense at AT &amp; T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Like in previous instances, the New York-born Southpaw outmaneuvered Garcia to convince the judges to hand over a unanimous victory using his reach. 4. Versus Shawn Porter &#8211; In a move towards title unification, Errol Spence Jr. squared up with WBC champion Shawn Porter on September 28, 2019, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. However, Spence Jr. proved too much for Porter despite his best efforts. The latter even got knocked down in the eleventh round. However, the tightly fought contest left no other option for the judges but to award a victory to Spence Jr. by a split decision. 5. Versus Danny Garcia &#8211; Errol Spence Jr. and two-weight division champion Danny Garcia met a year later on December 5, 2020, at the AT&amp;T Stadium in Texas. The former’s WBC and IBF Welterweight titles were at stake. The fight ended in a unanimous victory for Spence Jr.  6. Versus Yordenis Ugas &#8211; Next stage in Spence Jr.’s title unification took him to the doorsteps of the Cuban Yordenis Ugas, the reigning WBA (Super) Welterweight champion. The AT &amp; T Stadium fight on April 16, 2022, ended in a tenth round with a technical knockout victory for Spence Jr. A badly swollen right eye forced the referee to stop the fight based on the ring doctor’s assessment. Errol Spence Jr’s Signature Boxing Techniques Let’s review in greater depth about Errol Spence Jr.’s boxing style. Pressure fighter with a Strong lead hand: Errol Spence Jr. is great at putting most of the opponents on the defensive because of his ability to gauge the distance required to apply the apt pressure. Besides the jab, a remarkable ring generalship aids him in forcing the opponents onto the ropes.  Thus they either end up wasting energy through constant movements or, left with no other option, stay put against him. Finally, using the ‘shift technique,’ Spence Jr. applies pressure by quickly closing the distance and surprising the opponent with a powerful shot.  An excellent example of a referral could be the sixth round against Mikey Garcia. Puncher-boxer: In many ways, Errol Spence Jr. holds the ideal traits of a ‘Boxer Puncher’ with a slight tilt towards swarming. Strong in boxing fundamentals, the cornerstones of the American’s efficient and effective approach in the ring include a jab and a straight left to either head or body. Another aspect that needs special consideration is his ability to battle on the inside. The deadly combination of his aggression, physicality, and power, is often too much for his opponents. Block And Counter: The defensive and counterpunching prowess of Errol Spence Jr. often gets overlooked. But those form a critical part of his arsenal. Then he also uses his feet to great use by keeping a distance, thus making himself a challenging target to hit.  Likewise, he has put in much effort to improve this area. His ability to collect shots with his glove and counterattack is best exemplified during the Shawn Porter bout. He took more punishment in the fight, but his performance is still rated outstanding. Body Shots: As an owner of body punches rated among the best in the business, Spence Jr.’s competitor often suffers a stinging pain whenever he gets near them or tries to get on their inside. Likewise, during the offensive mode, if Spence Jr. faces trouble connecting with the opponent’s head, he switches to body assault. Though essentially a southpaw, he doesn’t hesitate to deliver a right hook to the body in the tight quarter. Once he pins his opponents down, Spence Jr. goes for a relentless attack knowing very well that targeting the body will keep the former more occupied, leaving the head vulnerable.  Shoulder Roll: Errol Spence Jr. evades powerful strikes without slipping or partially absorbing impact by using the shoulder roll, a technique brought to perfection by the Mayweather family. The method presents invaluable time for him to retaliate instantly without blocking the blow. Errol Spence Jr’s car collection and other luxuries Unlike many superstar boxers, Errol Spence Jr.’s car collection remains modest. However, they are all muscle cars that move like the wind. 1. Ferrari 488 Spider &#8211; One of Ferrari’s top-of-the-line offerings, priced at $284,700, this beauty boasts a 3.9 liter V8 engine, twin-turbocharged to produce 670 horsepower. Often regarded as the automobile maker’s most potent convertible ever, it has a top speed of 205 miles per hour and covers zero to sixty miles per hour in three seconds. Unfortunately, Spence Jr. was involved in an accident while driving the vehicle in 2019. 2. Lamborghini Gallardo &#8211; With its V10 engine producing a monstrous 550 horsepower, the Gallardo is one of the most extreme examples of Italian automotive genius. It is a product of Lamborghini’s decades-long history of producing luxury automobiles simultaneously, making it one of the most user-friendly supercars ever produced. The world champion might own other chariots. However, their details could not be sourced. Among other luxury goods, Spence Jr. rewards himself with a brand-new watch whenever he can.  Besides possessing a skeleton face and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, ‘The Truth’ reportedly planned on getting a Richard Mille. A Cologne connoisseur, his collection of expensive sprays includes Maison Francis Kurkdjian. After the 2019 fatal car accident, Errol Spence Jr. bought a sixty-acre ranch in DeSoto, Texas, where he spends time riding horses and caring for the cattle. Errol Spence Jr Awards and Achievement Errol Spence Jr. has had a brilliant outing as a professional boxer. Some notable awards and achievements he received include the following: Unified Welterweight World Champion: Spence Jr. held multiple world titles in the welterweight division, including the IBF (International Boxing Federation) in 2017 and the WBC (World Boxing Council) from 2019 and the World Boxing Association (Super) since 2022. World’s Best Active Welterweight &#8211; The Ring magazine and Transnational Boxing Rankings Board Prospect of the Year, 2015 &#8211; ESPN Golden Gloves, 2009, Salt Lake City &#8211; Gold Medal US National Championships, 2009(Denver), 2010, &amp; 2011(Colorado Springs) &#8211; Gold Medal US National PAL Championships, 2010, San Antonio &#8211; Gold Medal Errol Spence Jr’s horrific Car crash Though his expertise inside the ring remains unquestionable, it is outside, especially on the busy roads, that Errol Spence Jr. faces some issues. One, in particular, came out critical. In October 2019, roughly two months after he packed off Shawn Porter, Errol Spence Jr. met with a severe car accident in Dallas, Texas, during the wee hours. He lost control of his Ferrari 488 Spider. The vehicle flipped many times, even as the champion was thrown out. Reportedly, he hadn’t put on the seatbelt.  Finally, in June 2022, it was discovered that Spence Jr. had been driving under the influence. Therefore, he was imprisoned for three days and received a $3400 fine. The second incident happened three after the dangerous October crash. According to ‘The Truth, ’ a vehicle rear-ended his G Wagon. Incidentally, his insurance provider refused to cover him after the collision. The third accident occurred last December. As it turned out, a fourteen-year-old, who had taken his parent’s car, ran a red light and crashed into the front of his SUV. The accident reportedly resulted in a minor leg injury for the world champion.  He said, “I wanna say no serious injuries on the top, thank God for that man. I wasn’t injured, he wasn’t injured, and we weren’t having serious injuries. So it’s all blessings.”  Name Errol Spence Jr.  Born March 3, 1990   Place of Birth Long Island, New York  Nationality American  Education High School  Parents Father &#8211; Errol Spence Sr.  / Debra Spence  Height 5 feet 9 inches (175 inches)  Weight 145.5 lbs.

Apart from that, his other notable business investments include Money Team Racing, Mayweather Promotions, and Skate Rock City. Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s career timeline Coming from an acclaimed boxing family, it was natural for young Floyd Mayweather Jr. to pick the gloves. The prodigious boxer won the Golden Gloves in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Making it to the Olympics, Mayweather Jr. controversially lost the semi-finals to Serafim Todorov. As a result, he had to settle for a bronze medal. Per records, his amateur wins stood at eighty-four against eight defeats. By the year-end 1996, Mayweather Jr. embarked on his professional career with his first fight against Roberto Apodaca on October 11. He was three months short of his twentieth birthday. Over the next two years, Floyd Mayweather won nineteen fights. In between, he won his first world title on October 3 against Genaro Hernandez. Mayweather would successfully defend his WBC super featherweight title for the next three years. Then, on April 20, 2002, Mayweather Jr. fought his first bout in the lightweight division. He won the WBA and The Ring titles with a win over Jose Luis Castillo. The first big name that crossed his path was Arturo Gatti. The duo fought on June 25, 2005, for the WBC super lightweight title. &#8216;Money&#8217; won as the latter retired by the sixth round of the contest. Making his second divisional move, &#8216;TBE&#8217; fought and defeated Zab Judah unanimously on April 8, 2006, winning the IBF and IBO welterweight titles. Towards the end of the year, he defeated Carlos Baldomir and added the WBC, IBA, and The Ring welterweight belts to his kitty. On May 7, 2007, he faced the next big name. Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. fought for the WBC light middleweight title. The latter won via split decision. His next severe test awaited him six months later. England&#8217;s Ricky Hatton and Mayweather Jr. fought at MGM Grand on December 8. A tenth-round stoppage ensured a technical victory for the American while defending the welterweight titles. Three years later, Mayweather outclassed Shane Mosley at MGM Grand. The following year, he knocked out Victor Ortiz to win the WBC welterweight title. Miguel Cotto was the next to fall in line on May 5, 2012. The win fetched Mayweather Jr. the WBA super light middleweight title. Then, on September 14, 2013, he faced a much younger Canelo Alvarez at MGM Grand. &#8216;Money&#8217; won by a majority decision and added the WBC and The Ring Light Middleweight titles. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; SEPTEMBER 14: (L-R) Floyd Mayweather Jr. throws a right to Canelo Alvarez during their WBC/WBA 154-pound title fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on September 14, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images) The following two years were momentous for Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2014, he fended off Carlos Maidana&#8217;s challenges twice. During their first bout on May 3, Mayweather won by a split decision. Four months later, the judges were unanimous in the decision to award a win to the American. Then, onÂ May 2, 2015, &#8216;TBE&#8217; faced his biggest challenge. He met the mighty Manny Pacquiao at MGM Grand. The much-hyped fight proved to be drab. Nevertheless, the American won unanimously and got himself the WBO welterweight title besides retaining the existing ones. He then claimed his forty-ninth professional win when he earned a unanimous decision over Andre Berto. Soon afterward, Mayweather Jr. announced his retirement from the sport. Two years later, he made a comeback againstÂ the UFC sensation and mixed martial arts champion Conor McGregor at Nevada&#8217;s T-Mobile Arena on August 26, 2017. Mayweather Jr. won the fight on technical grounds by the tenth round. It was the last professional fight for Floyd Mayweather Jr. His record is now perfect fifty-nil. Floyd Mayweather Juniorâ€™s partnership and endorsements Hublot Ahead of Floyd Mayweather&#8217;s fight against Conor McGregor in 2017, the Swiss watchmaking company signed a deal with the boxing legend. Mayweather was seen brandishing a $1.1 million diamond-encrustedÂ Hublot Big Bang watch in the pre-match press conference in London ahead of his fight against McGregor. His association with the company dates back to the Pacquiao fight when the former five-division world champion&#8217;s trunks carried the logo of the watch company. The value of the deal remains undisclosed to this day. Mayweather termed the deal with Hublot &#8220;timeless&#8221;.Â  Burger King The American fast-food company signed a deal with Mayweather in 2015. The deal was worth 1 million dollars in 2015. According to the stipulated contract, the company was allowed to include its mascot in Mayweather&#8217;s entourage. In the &#8220;Fight of the Century&#8221; against Pacquiao, Mayweather walked out to the ring with the company&#8217;s mascot.Â Â Â  FanDuel The sports betting company Fanduel also endorsed Mayweather. And in 2015, in the iconic fight against Pacquiao, his fight night trunks bore the company&#8217;s logo. Reportedly, the entry-level fee for any brand to associate themselves with the boxing legend is US$1 million. Floyd Mayweather Juniorâ€™s investments Mayweather is the richest boxer in the world. And a lot of it has to do with his smart business decisions. Mayweather has invested in multiple business ventures. Some of them are as follows: Â Skyscrapers Mayweather Jr. is a proud owner of nine skyscrapers, one of which includes the 93-story skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan. They are all primarily located in New York and are part of his over $150 million portfolio.
