It wasn’t the fight we expected, but it’s the fight we’ve got. Manny Pacquiao will fight Yordenis Ugas in a welterweight title fight on Saturday night from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao was originally scheduled to fight Errol Spence Jr. before Spence had to withdraw because of a tear in his retina. Ugas was set to fight on Saturday’s card anyway, so this is not a quick turnaround for the Cuban.
Pacquiao hasn’t fought since 2019 and will have a size and reach disadvantage against Ugas, who rose through the amateur ranks and took bronze at the 2008 Olympics. But Pacquiao is still a big favorite, with the betting market giving him a greater than 70% chance to win on Saturday night.
Pacquiao will fight for the 72nd time in his storied professional career; he’ll turn 43 years old in December.

Yordenis Ugas History
Ugas took the vacant WBA title 11 months ago by defeating Abel Ramos, and will try to keep Pacquiao from taking back the belt. He won bronze at the 2008 Olympics and while he hasn’t had a storied professional career, he’s been a tough out — most notably in a split decision against Shawn Porter for the WBC welterweight title in 2019.
