Al Haymon and Premier Boxing Champions now have two big unifications confirmed after Errol Spence Jr. and Yordenis Ugas signed on the dotted line.
Spence and Ugas wanted to face each other for weeks after the latter successfully lobbied the World Boxing Association for the opportunity.
Ugas got ordered to participate in a mandatory WBA welterweight tournament as the ‘super’ champion. However, a deal got struck when the Spence vs. Ugas winner agreed to meet the ‘regular’ titleholder next.
Now, unbeaten WBC and IBF champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and WBA ruler Yordenis Ugas will square off in a welterweight championship unification showdown.
Haymon and PBC set a Saturday, April 16 date at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event tops a massive Premier Boxing Champions event.

PBC
Haymon’s ambition to push the PBC to the forefront of recent title bouts featuring a spate of straps is evident. He no longer wants to be left behind after initially considering his own PBC championships.
Rumors swirled about the controversy forming when the company broke away from Golden Boy. They never came to pass.
It certainly looks to be strap season for the spring of 2022.
The winners of both will be in for a pound-for-pound boost when the dust settles.
