Tim Tszyu Questions Errol Spence Jr.'s Desire
Tszyu says the former unified champion must prove he still wants to fight after years away and financial success.
- On Saturday, Errol Spence faces Tim Tszyu at Sydney Olympic Park in a middleweight clash, marking Spence's return after a three-year absence following his 2023 loss to Terence Crawford.
- Rather than discussing tactics, Tszyu focused on testing Spence's desire, questioning if years away from competition and financial success have diminished the former champion's drive.
- Tensions escalated after Tszyu, who smirked about "coming for every limb," was snubbed during a handshake attempt; Spence told Premier Boxing Champions he does not play mind games.
- The fighters clash at middleweight after Spence requested the 158lb catchweight limit be raised. Spence admitted his body took time adjusting to the training pace after his long layoff.
- Tszyu, with a 27-3 record, described this as the biggest occasion of his career, while Spence enters with a 28-1 record seeking to prove he still possesses elite competitive fire.
