Tim Tszyu Next Fight: Looking Ahead to April 6

Looking ahead to his return: “This is my redemption tour,” Tszyu said. “I’m coming back stronger, hungrier, and ready to prove a point. There’s no easing back in, no tune-up fights; just straight into the fire with a very, very good fighter in Joey Spencer. He’s a real fighter, a dangerous opponent, and exactly the kind of challenge I crave.

“Fighting back home in Australia, and especially in Newcastle, makes this one even more special. It’s been too long, and I can’t wait to step into that ring, feel the energy of a home crowd again and bring it for my fans.”

Joseph Spencer

This will be a significant step up for Spencer based on his three wins since his only professional loss to Jesus Ramos who stopped him in round seven of their clash. The significance of this fight is not lost on the American who is determined to seize this opportunity: “I’ve watched Tszyu for a long time — his style, his mentality,” Spencer said. “The guy’s a real warrior. He’s the kind of fighter who doesn’t back down. He takes on all comers, no excuses, just gets in there and fights.

“You look at what he’s done — switching opponents, taking risks. He’s built for this. That’s the type of fighter I respect. But I’m coming to take him out. I’m not here to just share the ring with him. I’m coming to win. Period.”

As reported by Dan Rafael in his Fight Freaks Unite Substack, should Tszyu win and Keith Thurman defeat Brock Jarvis, both will meet this summer in the U.S.
