It will be well over a year since Spence Jr last fought competitively when he steps in the ring with Crawford, who knocked out David Avanesyan in the sixth round of their fight in December.
In fact, Spence’s victory over Ugas marks his only fight since beating Danny Garcia in December 2020 after he was forced to withdraw from a prospective meeting with Pacquiao in August 2021 due to a retinal tear to his left eye.
