CBSN
Spence spoke with 'Morning Kombat' about the upcoming PPV event and his plans for the future
As unified welterweight champion and pound-for-pound ranked Errol Spence Jr. looks at the stakes of his Aug. 21 pay-per-view bout against eight-division Manny Pacquiao, he admits the opportunity of being known as the man who ended the legendary 26-year career of the Filipino icon is first and foremost on his mind. "I do want to retire him," Spence told "Morning Kombat" on Thursday. That doesn't mean Spence (27-0, 21 KOs) is holding any malice against the 42-year-old Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) ahead of their PBC on FOX PPV clash inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In fact, far from it.More Related News
