Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia

  • AT&T Stadium 1 AT&T Way Arlington, TX, 76011 United States (map)

Errol Spence Jr. (24-0, 21 KO) vs. Mikey Garcia (39-0, 30 KO). The two will meet for Spence’s IBF welterweight title on March 16, 2019 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on FOX-distributed pay-per-view.

Spence is an elite welterweight, a 28-year-old southpaw who has proven himself every bit the fighter he was expected to be as a prospect, both as an amateur and early in his career. In May 2017, he went to Sheffield, England, and stopped Kell Brook to win the IBF 147-pound title, and has since defended twice, both times in 2018. In January, he beat Lamont Peterson via seventh round stoppage, and in June, he knocked out unprepared mandatory challenger Carlos Ocampo in the first round.

Garcia will be moving up two weight classes for this fight. The 30-year-old pound-for-pound contender has won world titles at 126, 130, 135, and 140. His win over Sergey Lipinets at junior welterweight was a one-off of sorts, as he went back down lightweight four months later to defeat Robert Easter Jr in a unification bout.
