“I Have No Problem”- Manny Pacquiao Can Fight Errol Spence Jr. After Yordenis Ugas

Manny Pacquiao is still open to facing two-belt unified champion Errol Spence Jr. after their potential fight got scrapped from the August 21 card. Spence Jr’s untimely retina injury has cost him the opportunity, which the WBA champion, Yordenis Ugas, will now relish.

While Manny Pacquiao is still fighting in the main event, Errol Spence Jr’s departure can take away some attention from the card. However, ‘Pac-Man’ gave a possible lifeline to the Errol Spence Jr. fight.

In a chat with TMZ, Manny Pacquiao said, “I have no problem [fighting Spence]. As long as he’s still physically fit, then okay.”

Meanwhile, a shock defeat against Yordenis Ugas can disrupt Manny Pacquiao’s plans. Furthermore, as the 42-year-old is rumored to be running for presidential elections in the Philippines, the upcoming fight can be his last pro appearance in the ring.

The Return of Manny Pacquiao

Two years after having beaten Keith Thurman, Pacquaio will come back in a stellar title fight. While most boxers of his generation, like De La Hoya, Hatton, and Mayweather, have retired, Pacquaio is still standing amongst the modern-day warriors.

This fight vs Ugas can help him stay active and it can serve as a warmup for the Errol Spence Jr. bout. Furthermore, as a hefty-payday is already knocking on the doors for the Filipino star, it’s a win-win situation for the former eight-division champion.
