Errol Spence Jr. to Face Tim Tszyu in July 26 Sydney Catchweight Bout

The bout is set for July 26, 2026 at the Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia, featuring a 158‑pound catch‑weight clash between former unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr., 36, and Australian contender Tim Tszyu, 31.

Spence, returning after a three‑year hiatus since his loss to Terence Crawford, says Tszyu’s aggressive pressure leaves openings, noting, “I definitely see the weaknesses and the openings.” Tszyu counters that Spence’s recent earnings have bred “a certain arrogance” and vows, “I think he’s got a certain arrogance about him… I really just want to hurt him.”

Both fighters have switched trainers—Tszyu to Jeff Fenech and Spence relying on his veteran experience—making the fight a test of legacy versus financial security.
