Andy Ruiz Sends Pacquiao Message Before Ugas Showdown

Manny Pacquiao returns to action this weekend.

The Filipino boxing legend continues to defy age and looks to show he is still a force at welterweight, yet again, on Saturday night.

A last minute injury to Errol Spence forced Spence to withdraw but Yordenis Ugas has stepped in at the last minute.

One fan of Pacquiao is former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz no less — who said the following to Premier Boxing Champions before the fight:

“Shout out to Manny Pacquiao. We’re routing for you. You inspired me so much when I used to train with Freddie Roach at the Wild Card. You’ve got this brother. God bless and good luck.”

The fight takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
