Jeff Horn wants Errol Spence if Pacquiao fight doesn’t happen
By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn is already planning a backup plan by targeting IBF 147 pound champion Errol Spence if the rematch with Manny Pacquiao fails to take place. Horn, 29, whipped Pacquiao last month in defeating him by a 12 round unanimous decision on July 2 at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia. Pacquiao said that he’s interested in fighting Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) again, but thus far nothing has happened.

Errol Spence says he’d fight Canelo-Golovkin winner

By Allan Fox: Konstantin Ponomarev and Carlos Oscampo will be meeting in an IBF welterweight eliminator fight to decide the challenger to IBF 147 pound champion Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs). This will be a really rough ask for the Ponomarev vs. Ocampo winner to be able to compete against a talent like Spence.
5 years on: Olympics 2012 where are they now. Part 3/4
By Gav Duthie: Part 3 focuses on Team America and the amateur scene in 2012. Boxing in the Olympics used to be a straight shoot between America and Cuba but those days are long gone. There have been no gold medals for the men since Andre Ward in 2004. In fact there have barely been any medals at all. The talent hasn’t dropped in the United States but the priorities have changed.
Errol Spence targeting Danny Garcia
By Allan Fox: IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. has eyes set on defending his title against former 2 division belt holder Danny “Swift” Garcia if he’s interested in fighting him for his belt. Spence (22-0, 19 KOs) doesn’t see why Garcia (33-1, 19 KOs) wouldn’t take the fight. Spence, 27, notes that Keith Thurman isn’t available for the time being due to him having recent surgery on an elbow.
