Errol Spence Jr. Returns in Middleweight Showdown With Tim Tszyu in Sydney

Framed as a career crossroads for both fighters, the bout will be sold on PBC pay‑per‑view via Prime Video.

Overview

  • The main event is set for Afterpay Arena in Sydney with the main card slated to begin at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 25, and the fight contracted at the 160‑pound middleweight limit.
  • Spence ends a three‑year layoff from his last fight in July 2023 and has not decided if this will be his final fight, saying he is “playing it by ear.”
  • Spence is working under new head coach Ronnie Shields, who says the comeback is limited to one to three fights and not aimed at chasing world titles.
  • The 160‑pound limit was changed from an earlier 158‑pound catchweight at Spence’s request, marking the heaviest contracted weight of his pro career after years at 147 pounds.
  • The card is a PBC pay‑per‑view event sold on Prime Video and DAZN in the U.S. for about $79.99, bookmakers list Spence a narrow favorite, and the undercard has seen late lineup and weight adjustments while the headline bout remains intact.
