Errol Spence credits Ronnie Shields for training overhaul

Errol Spence says his work with new coach Ronnie Shields has transformed his preparation. The former welterweight champion described a sharper focus and execution under the veteran trainer.

What Errol Spence said

Spence moved to Shields after a disappointing spell that saw him lose his unified welterweight titles. The switch marks a significant change for the Dallas fighter, who had worked with long-time trainer Derrick James through most of his professional career. Shields brings decades of experience training world champions and is known for tactical fight plans.

What it moves

Spence's emphasis on game-plan execution suggests he is addressing criticisms from his recent performances. The praise for Shields hints at a more structured approach ahead of any potential return. No opponent or date has been announced for Spence's next fight.
