Tim Tszyu vs Joey Spencer Set For April 6 In Australia

Former WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu (24-2, 17 KOs) is ready to get back into the title picture but first will face Joey Spencer (19-1, 11 KOs) on April 6 in New Castle, Australia. 

Tszyu has been relatively quiet the last few months after suffering a devastating third-round knockout loss to IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KOs) in October. Tszyu took some time off and is now ready to get back in the mix. He will face Spencer, who has stayed active but never really reached the potential many thought he once had. The event will stream live on Prime Video in the U.S.

Below are quotes from the CEO of No Limit Boxing and the two fighters involved in the main event.

NO LIMIT BOXING CEO GEORGE ROSE

“Tim Tszyu does not take easy fights. He could’ve taken a softer option, but that’s not who he is. He wanted the toughest challenge available, and that’s exactly what Joey Spencer brings to the table. Spencer is a two-time PBC Prospect of the Year, he has devastating power, and he’s looking to make a massive statement in the super welterweight division – a division stacked with names like Crawford and Fundora.

“It’s an all-risk fight for Tim, but that’s the only way he operates. If you think this is going to be a walk in the park, think again. Joey Spencer is coming to rip everything away from Tim, and that’s what makes this fight absolutely unmissable.

“Newcastle is one of the best fight cities in the world – it’s ‘Tszyucastle’ for a reason. The fans there live and breathe boxing, and they absolutely love Tim Tszyu. The atmosphere is going to be electric, and Joey is stepping into enemy territory. He’s never experienced anything like this before, and it’s going to be a cauldron from the second he steps into the arena.”
