Yordenis Ugas cautions netizens who “discredit” him over social media

Ugas, who was rushed to the hospital following his bout against Errol Spence Jr. on April 16, is yet to find his complete health back. While he still recovers from the injuries, netizens continue to hurl at him with rocky words and harsh comments. To respond to the people and take a stand for himself, Ugas recently broke his silence on Twitter.

“I have blocked many people these days. If you’re a fan and you tell me (Ugas I’m over you, you’re not on that level) I say “ok thanks” but if you come and “make fun of me” “discredit me” and make me understand that you hate me, then I’ll block you and save you stress to read me,” wrote Yordenis Ugas.
