Yordenis Ugas buys first ever house thanks to Manny Pacquiao victory
Cuban champion boxer and WBA welterweight ruler Yordenis Ugas bought his first house thanks to a victory over legend Manny Pacquiao last August.
Announcing the news earlier in the week, Ugas said his Las Vegas residence was a dream come true.
Ugas managed to defeat Pacquiao via a decision in the same city, cementing his place among the elite of the 147-pound division.
Speaking to his fans, Ugas said: “I didn’t want to talk about this. I get emotional, but it’s good to share it.
“I hope it motivates you not to give up and fight for your dreams. Five years ago, I came to Vegas, I didn’t have a car, and I had to share Uber with other people to go to my training. Today I have my house.
“My full paid house. Thank God forever for this great blessing and for every opportunity.”
On his plans to fight Errol Spence in a unification, Ugas added: “Last year, I signed a contract against Spence to fight for three belts.
“Pacquiao came back, and they explained to me, and I understood. Pacquiao-Spence fight was bigger than Spence-Ugas for PBC.
“I caught another fight and did not hear the taunts from some fans and moved on. I’m a true PBC fighter.”
