Tim Tszyu vs Errol Spence Jr set for Australian showdown

Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) was moving through test after test before a bloody defeat to Sebastian Fundora. Since then, two more defeats have followed: another against Fundora and a brutal loss to Bakhram Murtazaliev. Last time out, he defeated Denis Nurja, and shortly after, Tszyu revealed Jeff Fenech will take over as his lead trainer.

Tim Tszyu vs Errol Spence Jr feels like the winner stays on. Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) was considered among the pound-for-pound best fighters, but two car crashes and a brutal loss to Terence Crawford have left the American out of the ring since 2023. Both fighters clearly have plenty of questions to answer, but the inactivity of Spence leaves him with more questions.

Tszyu warns Spence ahead of July 25

Discussing Spence ahead of their July 25 fight, Tszyu said:

“He’s got a certain arrogance about him. That could be because he made a s**t ton of money and doesn’t really need to be doing this, and that type of stuff, and he really thinks down of myself. But that’s all right; when we get in the ring, I really just want to hurt him; it’s quite simple. That’s what boxing’s about.”

“Do I wanna be in there or not? That’s the question. How bad do I want it? That’s what I want him to question,” said Tszyu when asked about Spence’s desire.
