Overview
- Tim Tszyu beat Errol Spence Jr. by unanimous decision at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, with official cards reading 118‑110, 117‑111 and 117‑111 on Sunday.
- Moments after the verdict, a visibly emotional Errol Spence Jr. announced his retirement in the ring, saying he intends to leave boxing to focus on family and life outside the sport.
- The bout was contested at a 160‑pound middleweight limit, with both men weighing 159 pounds, marking a two‑division jump for the 36‑year‑old Spence in his first fight after a nearly three‑year layoff.
- The event was carried as a PBC pay‑per‑view in the U.S. on DAZN and Prime Video priced at $79.99, and the card was reshuffled late after visa and weight problems forced the removal of higher‑profile undercard fights.
- Tszyu, buoyed by a home‑crowd win and new trainer Jeff Fenech, declared middleweight his new division and said he will pursue world‑title opportunities while Spence departs with a 28‑2 record and his legacy as a former unified welterweight champion intact.
