Floyd Mayweather recently discussed the hardship Cuban fighters endure to follow their dreams. Until very recently, boxing was outlawed in Cuba and fighters would have to flee the country in order to pursue careers in boxing.

Yordenis Ugas is one such fighter who fled Cuba to follow his dream of becoming a professional boxer. He is now the WBA Welterweight Champion.

In an interview with FightHype.com, 'Money' Mayweather spoke about the struggles of Cuban fighters, having visited the country:

"And Ugas, you know them boys in Cuba go through so much, just you know, in the sport of boxing. It's just, to Ameica, you know go to one place and go to another place sometimes they try to escape by swimming so it's a lot. You know, if you try to hop in the ocean where sharks and you don't know whatever else is in that water just to get to, get somewhere to try to fulfill your dream and accomplish the things you wanna do."

Yordenis Ugas is currently preparing to fight Errol Spence Jr. in a title unification fight. In his last fight, the Cuban managed to beat Manny Pacquiao in dominating fashion to retain his title. Fans are excited to see how he performs against the unbeaten WBC and IBF Welterweight World Champion Errol Spence Jr.
