In February, a fight between the WBC, WBA and IBF world welterweight champion should take place in the USA Errol Spence Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs) and Keith Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs).

At the recent WBC convention, Thurman was named the official contender for the fight with Spence. The fight was also approved by the WBA.

In his last professional appearance, Spence defeated Yordenis Ugas by TKO. Thurman returned to the ring in February after more than a two-year hiatus and won on points against Mario Barrios.
