In the next few days, with God’s favor, the swelling and bruising will be at zero, “added the man from Santiago de Cuba through his account on the social network Twitter.

But the welterweight boxer not only shared positive news about his face, but also confirmed what his next goals and aspirations are.
“Keith Thurman is one of the best fighters of our era and I think a fight with him would be something the fans would enjoy. We are warriors and we would bring a lot of emotion to the ring”

Himself Keith Thurman Jr., nicknamed ‘One Time’, has already hinted at a possible lawsuit against Ugás. In the vicinity of the clash between him and Errol Spence, he made his opinion known about his potential rival:
“He is a very big welterweight and has great reach”
He also sent a forceful message about the event of that night: he believed that he should be Spence’s challenger and not Ugás; That could be the potential argument for the promoters of both boxers to agree on a fight, all depending on Ugás’ recovery time and return to training, which it could take up to three months.
“It is very important to come back this year, come back strong to be able to make a statement and show that I am one of the best welterweights in the welterweight division today”, said Thurman Jr.
I definitely want to get in there with a Champion, but if I have to stay competitive and fight someone in the ranks in the months to come so be it. I’m gonna stay busy, but my desire is to make the biggest fights in the welterweight division. #OneTime
