Errol Spence Jr. makes his long-awaited return to the boxing ring on Saturday evening for the first time since his horrific car accident in October 2019. Spence is set to defend his WBC and IBF welterweight world titles against former two-division champ Danny Garcia in a Fox pay-per-view main event.

Spence (26-0, 21 KO) is one of boxing's brightest stars and biggest talents. A combination of his one-vehicle accident and the global COVID-19 pandemic has kept him out of the ring after a thrilling fight with Shawn Porter that stood out as one of boxing's best in 2019. With the boxing world hoping to see a unification showdown between Spence and Terence Crawford, Spence will first have to get through a talented former champion in Garcia.

Garcia (36-2, 21 KO) has only dropped into the loss column in his two challenges for 147-pound titles against Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter. He managed to bounce back with wins over Adrian Granados and Ivan Redkach, but Garcia still needs to prove himself on the elite level. "Swift" has previous held two titles at junior welterweight and the WBC welterweight crown.
