After nearly three years away from the spotlight, Errol Spence Jr. is ready to return and he’s targeting a war. According to reports, Spence and Tim Tszyu have reached a deal for a junior middleweight clash this summer, setting up one of the most intriguing comeback fights in recent memory.

And if early words are any indication, neither man plans on taking a step back. Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) made it clear he’s ready for the challenge following a dominant 10-round shutout win over Denis Nurja in Australia.

The former WBO junior middleweight champion didn’t hesitate when asked about Spence. “I think me and Errol Spence is gonna be one helluva fight… it’s a banger.”

Known for his pressure-heavy, come-forward style, Tszyu promised exactly what fans expect: “I don’t take a backward step… if he wants to meet me at the front, bring it on.”

Spence (28-1, 22 KOs), who proudly calls himself “The Big Fish,” wasted no time firing back on social media. “You think s—t sweet… I’m a do you so bad!”

It’s the kind of tension that instantly elevates the fight a clash of pride, styles, and redemption.

The Long Road Back

For Spence, this isn’t just another fight. It’s his first appearance since his devastating loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023 a ninth-round stoppage that saw him dropped three times and lose his undisputed welterweight crown.

Since then, Spence has stepped away from the sport, focusing on recovery, family, and rebuilding mentally and physically. Now 36, he returns with questions surrounding him:

How much does he have left?
Can he still perform at an elite level?
And can he reinvent himself at 154 pounds?

Changes Behind the Scenes

Spence’s comeback also comes with major changes. No longer working with longtime trainer Derrick James, he has spent time alongside respected voices like:
