Tszyu beats Spence, eyes Lara and Charlo title fights

Overview

Tim Tszyu defeated Errol Spence Jr. by unanimous decision on 25–26 July 2026 at Sydney’s Afterpay Arena, with judges scoring the bout 118–110, 117–111 and 117–111. The victory, which Tszyu described as “bigger than any world title,” moved him into contention for middleweight titles. Spence, returning from a nearly three-year hiatus, announced his immediate retirement, stating, “It was a good fight, congratulations to Tim… now it’s time to go home with my family,” citing his health, finances, and desire to be with family.

Following the win, Tszyu has expressed interest in multiple paths. He initially targeted WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara, with promoter George Rose discussing potential Australian venues. However, Tszyu has also signaled a desire to pursue Jermell Charlo to become a two-division world champion. Charlo and Tszyu have reportedly begun discussing a location for a potential showdown.

In a separate development, Tszyu is also preparing for a matchup against undefeated Nikita Mahoney, for whom he is a heavy betting favorite. Tszyu, who continues to train with Jeff Fenech, has confirmed he will remain at the 160 lb weight class.
