This year, there’ll be several boxing bigwigs who’ll take up the ring space. Manny Pacquiao is one such stalwart in that list who’ll take on the exuberant undefeated contender, Errol Spence Jr. A fight between these two is set for August 21st, and it has already sent shock waves in the boxing universe for obvious reasons.
