Errol Spence No‑Show Ahead of Sydney Fight with Tim Tszyu

Errol Spence Jr. failed to appear for a scheduled satellite interview in Sydney, leaving challenger Tim Tszyu waiting for hours before the July 25, 158‑lb catch‑weight bout in Australia. Tszyu called the absent champion “a diva” and expressed frustration over the missed appearance.

The fight will be Spence’s first since his ninth‑round stoppage loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023 and his three‑year layoff following a serious car crash. He has been training in Houston under veteran trainer Ronnie Shields, whom former world‑title contender Brian Norman says could produce a “new and improved” version of Spence. Norman praised Shields for tightening Spence’s game and suggested the experience‑based changes may benefit the 36‑year‑old for his Sydney showdown.

Both fighters are preparing for the Australian showdown, with Spence’s return and Tszyu’s readiness drawing attention from the boxing community.
