Hindi matutuloy ang paghaharap nina Manny Pacquiao at Errol Spence Jr. para sa welterweight title ng World Boxing Association sa August 21 (August 22 sa Pilipinas).

Nadiskubreng may torn retina sa kaliwang mata ang 31-year-old American boxer, na nakatakdang sumailalim sa eye surgery sa Miyerkules, August 11.

Sunud-sunod na tweets niya nitong Martes ng gabi, August 10 (published as is):

“I was taught to get threw it & keep going.

"I came back from worse.

"Weny to three different doctors all said the same thing

"I’ll be back for the winner for sure."

Natuklasan ang torn retina sa kaliwang mata ni Spence sa pre-fight medical examination sa kanya ng Nevada State Athletic Commission sa Las Vegas noong Lunes, August 9.

Kinabukasan, August 10, lumipad si Spence sa Dallas, Texas para sa eye surgery niya.

Sa kabila nito, matutuloy pa rin ang welterweight title fight ni Pacquiao sa August 21 dahil may kapalit agad si Spence.

Ito ay ang 35-year-old Cuban boxer na si Yordenis Ugas na sabik nang makaharap ang Pambansang Kamao.

Sa interbyu ng ESPN.com kay Ugas, sinabi nitong malaking karangalang makalaban niya ang 42-year-old legendary Filipino boxer.

Pahayag niya, “It's an honor to fight the great multiple-division world champion, Manny Pacquiao, as I am more than ready to take on this challenge.

"I have a tremendous amount of respect for Pacquiao, but I am coming to win this fight.

"Everyone knows my story about how I came to America to follow my dreams of becoming a world champion, and now it's time to stamp my legacy with a victory, as one of the best Cuban fighters to ever put on a pair of gloves.

"I love my country and I want to dedicate this fight to all the men and women who are fighting for freedom."
