US EditionTszyu locks in spicy showdown with American superstar
- Former unified welterweight world champion Errol Spence will face Tim Tszyu on Sunday July 26 in an Australian city at a catchweight of 158 pounds, following months of negotiations and a heated Las Vegas media conference.
- The American superstar Spence returns to the ring for the first time since his loss to Terence Crawford almost three years ago, while Tszyu seeks to protect his unbeaten record on home turf.
- Tensions flared at the Las Vegas press conference when Spence refused to shake Tszyu's hand backstage, prompting Tszyu to say "That just shows the type of person he is" and Spence to reply "I don't play no games, bro."
- Tszyu likened the bout to his father Kostya Tszyu's 2000 win over Mexican champion Julio Cesar Chavez, calling it his "Julio Cesar Chavez moment," though Spence dismissed the comparison, saying the Sydneysider is "fighting me trying to get out of his daddy's shadow."
- Dubbed "The Truth" and the "Big Fish," Spence said he seeks "gratification" defeating Tszyu in his own backyard, while Tszyu countered that while Spence stayed away, "I've been in the fire" and learned the hard way.
