LOS ANGELES — Control of the welterweight division is at stake on Saturday when 147-pound titleholders Errol Spence Jr. and Shawn Porter face off in a unification bout at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Spence (25-0, 21 KOs) will defend his IBF title against WBC champion Shawn Porter (30-2-1, 17 KOs) in a rare meeting between reigning champions with the winner possibly in line for Manny Pacquiao.
This pay-per-view showdown pairs former friends — Spence was trained as an amateur by Porter’s father — who have put their goodwill aside for the sake of getting fans closer to finding out who the best welterweight in the world is.
