A possible opponent of Spence, who won the unification fight with Yordenis Ugas ahead of schedule in April this year, is a strong Lithuanian Eimantas Stanionis (14-0, 9 KOs), who defeated Rajab Butaev on points in April to win the WBA regular title.
Stanionis is a former European Olympic boxing champion in 2015, demonstrating a wide technical and physical arsenal in the professional ring. Eimantas is a very good boxer and hits very hard. His confrontation with Spence would certainly be interesting and would somewhat sweeten the protracted negotiations about the confrontation between Spence Jr. and Crawford.
