Errol Spence Seen Ready for July Comeback Fight Against Tim Tszyu, Says Teofimo Lopez

Former lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez said Errol Spence Jr. appears physically ready for his return to the ring after a nearly two‑year layoff. Spence, 36, will fight Australian contender Tim Tszyu on July 25 in Australia at a 158‑pound catch‑weight, his first bout since a ninth‑round stoppage loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023.

Lopez highlighted Spence’s consistent training and sparring, noting that the American boxer “already looks like he’s in shape.” Tszyu, a former WBO junior‑middleweight champion, has remained active, fighting seven times since Spence’s loss, while also seeking to regain title contention after consecutive defeats.

The matchup carries significant pressure for both fighters: Spence aims to restart his career at a higher weight class, and Tszyu looks to avoid another loss that would further distance him from world‑title opportunities.
