Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter
29 September 2019
Staples Center
Los Angeles
Defending IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr will take on WBC welterweight title holder Shawn Porter at Staples Center in Los Angeles California on Sunday, September 29 at 3h00.
The world welterweight unification bout will by a defining moment for both men who will be hoping to make history in what is a very competitive division.
Terence Crawford is the current WBO champion while Manny Pacquiao won the WBA title from Keith Thurman, but the victor of this weekend will own 50 per cent of the welterweight gold, and will firmly be in the pound seat.
"People don't necessarily understand the level that me and Spence are on," said Porter in build-up to this weekend's fight.
"We're both training to knock each other, to go 12 hard rounds, to outclass each other, outbox each other, out-punch each other.
Spence, who beat Mikey Garcia after a gruelling 12 round fight earlier this year added: "It can be a major year for me if I get this knockout. That's something I will look for, won't rush into, I will let it come to me, then I will take it.

"I'm looking for the stoppage.
"I want to clear out the division. I want Pacquiao, Thurman, Danny Garcia, Crawford. I want the top guys in the division then, when I've achieved that goal, I will move up and conquer another division."
Spence Jr's record: 25-0-0 (21 wins by KO)
Porter's record: 30-2-1 (17 wins by KO)
