PBC already made a splash last week by announcing that Errol Spence Jr. will defend his unified world welterweight titles against Danny Garcia on Nov. 21.
On Saturday night, PBC made sure to put boxing fans on notice of the hits that will be coming leading up to that bout via notable upcoming fights.
The promotional banner announced that former welterweight champion Shawn Porter will face Sebastian Formella on Aug. 22, while Erislandy Lara clashes with Greg Vendetti for the WBA junior middleweight championship on Aug. 29. In addition, Yordenis Ugas will face Abel Ramos with the WBA welterweight title on the line on Sept. 6. The three consecutive weeks of action can be seen on FOX in the U.S.

Porter took some time out Saturday night to give his thoughts on that fight.
