Spence umatras sa laban kay Pacman dahil sa ‘eye injury’
Napilitang umatras si welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr., sa laban nila ni Manny Pacquiao sa Agosto 21.
Kasunod ito nang pagkakadiskubre na may ‘retinal tear’ sa kanyang kaliwang mata matapos sumailalim sa pre-fight medical examination ng Nevada State Athletic Commission sa Las Vegas noong Lunes.
Aminado si Spence na hindi siya maaring sumabak sa ring dahil sa kondisyon ng kanyang kaliwang mata.
“I was excited about the fight and the event. Unfortunately, the doctors found a tear in my left eye and said I needed to get surgery on it ASAP and that there was no way I could fight with my eye in that condition,” ang pahayag ni Spence na inilabas ng kanyang kampo.
Hawak ni Spence and WBC at IBF welterweight crowns.
Uuwi ito sa Dallas, Texas para sumailalim sa isang operasyon at inaasahan naman na agad din itong makaka-recover at pababalik sa pagbo-boxing.
Samantala, si Yordenis Ugas, isang Cuban at 2008 Beijing Olympics bronze medalist, ang bagong makakalaban ng Pambansang Kamao.
Hawak naman ni Ugas ang WBA welterweight belt.
