Errol Spence Jr. (born March 3, 1990) is an American professional boxer. As an amateur he won three consecutive United States national championships in the welterweight division and represented the United States at the 2012 Olympics, where he reached the welterweight quarter-finals. As of April 2017, Spence is ranked as the world's fifth best welterweight by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board, seventh by The Ring magazine, and eighth by BoxRec.
Spence won the 2011 U.S. National Champion at Welterweight at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which he had also won in 2009 and 2010.
On August 3, 2012 Errol won his fight against Vikas Krishan after the original result was overturned and made it to the quarterfinals of the London Olympic Games.
Spence lost in the quarter finals of the 2012 London Olympics to Andrey Zamkovoy and turned professional shortly afterwards.
On November 9, 2012 a 22 year old Spence made his professional debut at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California in a scheduled 4 round bout against 19 year old Jonathan Garcia. Spence knocked Garcia down and out in the 3rd round. In December 2012, Spence knocked out Richard Andrews at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles, California, which was part of undercard for Amir Khan's comeback fight against Carlos Molina.
Spence fought eight times in 2013, being victorious in all of them, winning six inside the distance. He was taken the eight round distance in October by Emmanuel Lartei Lartey, a rather one-sided fight which saw the judges score the fight 79-73, 79-73, 79-73 all in favor of Spence. By the end of 2013, Spence had won all of his 10 professional fights, with 8 inside the distance.
