PBC have confirmed that Errol Spence Jr has pulled out of his August 21st PPV main event against Manny Pacquiao with a torn retina. In his place steps WBA titleholder Yordenis Ugas, who was slated to defend his title against Fabian Maidana in the co-main event.

“I’m very disappointed that I won’t be able to fight Manny Pacquiao on August 21,’’ Spence said. “I was excited about the fight and the event. Unfortunately, the doctors found a tear in my left eye and said I needed to get surgery on it ASAP and that there was no way I could fight with my eye in that condition. I’d like to apologize to everyone. You know I’ll be back as soon back soon. We’ve come back from worse.’’

“First and foremost, I ask everyone to join me in praying for a full and complete recovery for Errol Spence Jr,’’ Pacquiao said. “Thank God his physical examination discovered his eye condition before he suffered any further damage. I have agreed to fight Yordenis Ugas on August 21 for the WBA welterweight super championship. The proper way and the only way to win a world title is inside the ring.”

“It’s an honor to fight the great multiple division world champion, Manny Pacquiao, as I am more than ready to take on this challenge,’’ Ugas said. “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Pacquiao, but I am coming to win this fight. I’ve been in camp working hard with my coach Ismael Salas and I know together we will come up with a masterful game plan to combat anything Manny will bring to the ring. I wish Errol Spence Jr. a speedy recovery and I want to ensure the fans that I will be at my best for this fight.

The new matchup actually has something of a storyline behind it. “Pac-Man” (62-7-2, 39 KO) edged out Keith Thurman for the aforementioned title in 2019, while Ugas (26-4, 12 KO), whose only loss in the last seven years was a hugely controversial decision against Shawn Porter, claimed the “world” belt by beating Abel Ramos last September.

After nearly two years without a defense, the WBA elected to name Pacquiao “champion in recess” and elevate Ugas. Now, Pacquiao gets a chance to reclaim the belt he never lost in the ring.

As far as the matchup itself, it’s still a really good fight. Ugas remains one of the best welterweights in the game and figures to pose a stiff, if slightly more manageable, test for the Filipino legend. He’s been overdue for a big-name fight since the Porter debacle, so as much as it sucks to see the immensely entertaining Spence return to the shelf, at least there’s a silver lining.

GQ has put together a list of their top 21 Albums of the 21st Century. At the top sits Kanye West's 2010 classic My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

It's easy to see why GQ thinks so highly of MBDTF. Songs like "Power," "All of the Lights," "So Appalled," "Blame Game," Devil in a New Dress," "Monster" and "Dark Fantasy" clearly makes this album a must listen.

BECAUSE: It could've been any one of the seven albums West released this century, as fascinating a catalog of celebrity, triumph, love, loss, terrible puns, pretty decent puns, that was ever fucking put together by a single artist. MBDTF was just the record where he talked about all those things at once—a portrait of a man seizing the spotlight, drowning in it, and then somehow finding a way to turn that harrowing experience into art. Anybody who wants to be famous or make music for a living—or do both at the same time—should be forced to listen to MBDTF first. The rest of us are free to enjoy it for the bloody, hard-won, titanic achievement that it is.

Other notable albums on the list:

3. Outkast - Stankonia

6. D'Angelo - Voodoo

7. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange

9. Justin Timberlake - Futuresex/Lovesounds

10. Ghostface Killah - Supreme Clientele

11. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

12. Jay Z - The Blueprint

18 - Beyonce - Beyonce

19. J. Dilla - Donuts

Head over to GQ for the full list. In the meantime let us know what you think about Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy landing at the top.

A photo has leaked online of the cover for GQ Magazine's 100 Sexiest Women of the 21st Century, and Beyonce is featured. The 31-year old beauty shows off her great post-baby body in a cutoff jersey, leopard print bikini bottoms and a gold necklace.

Fans will be seeing a lot of Beyonce in 2013. She will be the halftime performer at Super Bowl XLVII next month in New Orleans, has an album on the way and will premiere a documentary on HBO February 16.

In addition the pop star has signed a $50 million "brand ambassador" deal with Pepsi. She will be featured in print ads, tv spots and even have her likeness on the beverage giant's soda cans.

**UPDATE** January 9th

Yesterday we presented you with a low quality leaked pic of the cover. Today a much better high quality photo has been released by GQ..

The full shoot will be released on Tuesday January 15th.

**UPDATE** January 10th

GQ has been kind enough to unveil Beyonce's full photo shoot a few days early. The publication has named the singer the #1 Hottest Woman of the 21st Century, and it's hard to argue with them.

Enjoy the pics and an excerpt from B's cover story with GQ below.

Beyoncé is ready to receive you now. From the chair where she's sitting, in the conference room of her sleek office suite in midtown Manhattan, at a round table elegantly laden with fine china, crisp cloth napkins, and take-out sushi from Nobu, she could toss some edamame over her shoulder and hit her sixteen Grammys, each wall-mounted in its own Plexiglas box. She is luminous, with that perfect smile and smooth coffee skin that shines under a blondish topknot and bangs. Today she's showing none of the bodaciously thick, hush-your-mouth body that's on display onstage, in her videos, and on these pages. This is Business Beyoncé, hypercomposed Beyoncé—fashionable, elegant, in charge. She's wearing the handiwork of no fewer than seven designers, among them Givenchy (the golden pin at her neck), Day Birger et Mikkelsen (her dainty gray-pink petal-collar blouse), Christian Louboutin (her pink five-inch studded heels), and Isabel Marant (her floral pants). She does not get up—a video camera has already been aimed at her face and turned on—so you greet her as you sit down. You have an agreed-upon window of time. Maybe a little more, if she finds you amusing.

 

You're here to talk about her big post-baby comeback (Blue Ivy, her daughter with Jay-Z, is a year old), which Beyoncé is marking in classic Beyoncé fashion: with a Hydra-headed pop-cultural blitzkrieg. This month, two weeks after she headlines the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII, she will premiere an HBO "documentary"—more like a visual autobiography—about herself and her family that she financed, directed, produced, narrated, and stars in. This is a woman, after all, who's sold 75 million albums, just signed a $50 million endorsement deal with Pepsi (her flawless visage will festoon actual cans of soda), and will soon embark on a world tour to promote her fifth solo album, as yet untitled, due out as early as April. Who wouldn't want to know how she gets the job done? 

 

"I worked so hard during my childhood to meet this goal: By the time I was 30 years old, I could do what I want," she says. "I've reached that. I feel very fortunate to be in that position. But I've sacrificed a lot of things, and I've worked harder than probably anyone I know, at least in the music industry. So I just have to remind myself that I deserve it."

 

Anytime she wants to remind herself of all that work—or almost anything else that's ever happened in her life—all she has to do is walk down the hall. There, across from the narrow conference room in which you are interviewing her, is another long, narrow room that contains the official Beyoncé archive, a temperature-controlled digital-storage facility that contains virtually every existing photograph of her, starting with the very first frames taken of Destiny's Child, the '90s girl group she once fronted; every interview she's ever done; every video of every show she's ever performed; every diary entry she's ever recorded while looking into the unblinking eye of her laptop. 

 

"Stop pretending that I have it all together," she tells herself in a particularly revealing video clip, looking straight into the camera. "If I'm scared, be scared, allow it, release it, move on. I think I need to go listen to 'Make Love to Me' and make love to my husband." 

 

Beyoncé's inner sanctum also contains thousands of hours of private footage, compiled by a "visual director" Beyoncé employs who has shot practically her every waking moment, up to sixteen hours a day, since 2005. In this footage, Beyoncé wears her hair up, down, with bangs, and without. In full makeup and makeup-free, she can be found shaking her famous ass onstage, lounging in her dressing room, singing Coldplay's "Yellow" to Jay-Z over an intimate dinner, and rolling over sleepy-eyed in bed. This digital database, modeled loosely on NBC's library, is a work in progress—the labeling, date-stamping, and cross-referencing has been under way for two years, and it'll be several months before that process is complete. But already, blinking lights signal that the product that is Beyoncé is safe and sound and ready to be summoned— and monetized—at the push of a button. 

 

And this room—she calls it her "crazy archive"—is a key part of that, she will explain, so, "you know, I can always say, 'I want that interview I did for GQ,' and we can find it." And indeed, she will be able to find it, because the room in which you are sitting is rigged with a camera and microphone that is capturing not just her every utterance but yours as well. These are the ground rules: Before you get to see Beyoncé, you must first agree to live forever in her archive, too.
