Errol Spence Jr beats Danny Garcia to defend WBC and IBF world titles

Errol Spence Jr defended his WBC and IBF world titles against Danny Garcia in his first fight since a serious car crash in October last year.

Spence Jr, 30, dominated the welterweight bout to win by a unanimous decision at the home of the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night in front of around 16,000 fans.

On his return, the American extended his record to 27-0 and said afterwards: "The moment is surreal especially coming back from my accident a year ago.

“Be patient with me. This was a comeback fight for me and I had to shake off some cobwebs.”

Spence Jr was in intensive care following the car crash after flipping his sports car at high speed.
