Sometimes things go awry, but we can do very little about the things that are not in our hands. And that’s what one can say about the fate of the fight between two boxers I like: Manny Pacquiao (PacMan) and Errol Spence. Having suffered from a retina tear in his left eye, Errol Spence had no option but to withdraw from the highly anticipated match; and that Errol had done on the basis of the doctors’ recommendation.

I strongly believe if the boxing match between PacMan and Errol Spence could happen, it would have become the Fight of the Year. Now, the Cuban boxer Yordenis Ugas, who is a great boxer, too, will step in and fight PacMan on the 21st of August. 

Errol had a successfully eye surgery, and is hoping to be back soon to fight the winner of the PacMan and Yordenis fight. Here is what he had to say through Instagram:

Manny has not shown any hard feelings but rather wished Spence a speedy recovery, which is what good sportspeople do. Hope Errol recovers fast.
