\u201cI\u2019m not saying it in a disrespectful way, am I? I respect what you\u2019ve done in your profession, but you haven\u2019t had a fight in three years. How can I say that?\u201d said Tszyu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Spence hasn\u2019t fought in three years, returning against Tszyu after a lengthy absence from the ring.<\/p>\n
Although he acknowledged that many fans have doubts about his comeback, he showed no hesitation in confronting Tszyu.<\/p>\n
When Tszyu reiterated that no one can understand how the layoff will affect him until fight night, Spence responded with a playful challenge.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDo you desire to spar today?\u201d<\/strong> Spence asked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nTszyu didn\u2019t hesitate.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s go,\u201d he replied, drawing laughter from those on stage before the conversation quickly returned to the upcoming fight.<\/p>\n
Spence later admitted he knows many fans are questioning what version of him will return after three years away.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople got questions. How\u2019s Errol Spence going to indicate up? Is he 60 percent? 70 percent? Is he still good?\u201d<\/p>\n
Fairly than taking a tune-up, Spence selected to return against Tszyu in Australia, making his first fight back one in all the riskiest comeback assignments in boxing.<\/p>\n
For Tszyu, though, all of the speculation ends once the opening bell rings.<\/p>\n
As Tyson famously put it, every fighter has a plan until they get hit. Tszyu believes Spence\u2019s comeback will probably be no different.<\/p>\n
The fight headlines a PBC pay-per-view card on July 25 on the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia.<\/p>\n
Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) enters the bout after back-to-back unanimous decision victories over Anthony Velazquez and Denis Nurja, rebuilding momentum following his July 2025 loss to Sebastian Fundora. The previous WBO junior middleweight champion will probably be fighting in front of his home fans against one in all the largest names of the previous generation.<\/p>\n
Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) returns to the ring against Tszyu after a three-year absence.<\/p>\n
