Inside the Ring: A Conversation with Yordenis Ugas and Errol Spence Jr.
Yordenis Ugas: Hey Errol, it’s been a minute! How’s everything going? How’s that gorgeous baby girl of yours?
Errol Spence Jr.: Thanks, Ugas! She’s doin’ great, man. It’s amazing watching her grow. How’s life treating you?
Yordenis Ugas: You know, just training hard and staying focused. Family’s good. Been thinking a lot about our past fights, especially that one against you. It’s crazy how the sport changes us, huh?
Errol Spence Jr.: Oh, definitely! That night was a battle. We brought the best out of each other, for sure. I still feel the adrenaline from that fight. Speaking of which, how are you prepping these days? Mixing things up?
Yordenis Ugas: Yeah, man. Trying to stay sharp with new techniques and keeping that Cuban spirit alive in my training. There’s always something to learn, you know? What about you, any new strategies?
Errol Spence Jr.: My coach and I are experimenting with some stuff too. Gotta keep evolving. By the way, I saw your Instagram the other day. That workout routine looked intense. You’re still a beast!
Yordenis Ugas: Ha, thanks man! I gotta stay ahead in this game. Can’t let the younger guys have all the fun. Speaking of which, what young fighter do you have your eye on right now?
Errol Spence Jr.: Ah, there are so many coming up with raw talent. Jaron Ennis is someone I think has a bright future. But you know how it is, it’s not just about talent, it’s about hard work and heart too.
Yordenis Ugas: Absolutely. It’s all about the grind and dedication. And speaking of dedication, I’m curious – any plans for after the boxing gloves come off?
Errol Spence Jr.: Definitely some things lined up. Thinking about staying involved in the sport, maybe coaching or mentoring the next generation. What about you? Any thoughts on what’s next after the ring?
Yordenis Ugas: I’ve got a few ideas. Might want to give back to the community, especially in Cuba. Mentoring, just like you said. But for now, let’s keep giving the fans what they love – unforgettable fights!
Errol Spence Jr.: Hell yeah! Here’s to many more epic battles and pushing each other to be our best. Cheers, man!
