Errol Spence, a former unified welterweight champion, is anticipated to make his return to the ring for the first time since losing to Terence Crawford in fight against Tim Tszyu, which will take place in Australia this June. The fight will headline a PBC on Prime PPV with Spence moving up to 154 lbs.
By the time this fight takes place, Spence, 35, will have been out of action for nearly three full years since getting throttled by Crawford in a highly anticipated undisputed welterweight showdown.
Meanwhile Tszyu, 31, looks to gain some career stability after having achieved world champion status only to have gone 2-3 in his last five outings, two of which were stoppage losses. Tszyu most recently took a unanimous decision win over Anthony Velazquez this past December.
But while this fight is being lined up for the summer, Tszyu is said to still be targeting a March fight on the undercard of Lewis Crocker vs. Liam Paro, and if that fight doesn’t go his way one would think it would put a summer fight with Spence in serious jeopardy. As of now nothing appears to be inked, but for now this appears to be the way things are headed.
