Overview
- Premier Boxing Champions confirmed Spence will face Tszyu on July 25 in Australia in a pay-per-view event on Prime Video, with the venue still to be announced.
- The fight will be Spence’s first since his July 2023 stoppage loss to Terence Crawford and his debut at super welterweight, a move up to 154 pounds after a three-year layoff.
- Tszyu, a former world titleholder at 154, enters after a rough run that included losses to Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev, followed by rebound wins over Anthony Velazquez and Denis Nurja.
- Both fighters have changed trainers in the lead-up, with Spence splitting from Derrick James and working with Ronnie Shields, and Tszyu now training under Jeff Fenech.
- The date shifted from an early June target to late July, signaling a reset that could determine each man’s relevance in the super welterweight landscape.
