Keith Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) and Yordenis Ugas (27-5, 12 KOs) will fight for the interim WBC welterweight title in August. Negotiations on the duel have not yet been completed, but the parties ...
Thurman hasn't boxed since last February when he beat Mario Barrios on points. With this performance, the American returned to the ring after more than a two-year break. Ugas lost in his last professional appearance to Errol Spence Jr.
In the spring, Thurman was supposed to have a fight with Spence, who is the full champion of the World Boxing Council in the weight category up to 66 kg. As a result, at the end of July, Spence will face Terence Crawford in a unification match.
