Errol Spence Jr returns to the ring this month, facing Tim Tszyu in Australia following three years of inactivity after his 2023 loss to Terence Crawford. Brian McIntyre, the trainer behind Crawford’s game plan, has weighed in on the upcoming fight.
Spence was beaten thoroughly by Crawford and, as his inactivity went on, was thought to have quietly retired from the sport. When announcing his deal to face Tszyu, he promised fans that he is only returning because he feels he has more left in the tank.
The Australian will boast home advantage and look to get a win on the world stage following two defeats to Sebastian Fundora and a KO loss to Bakhram Murtazliev. With that in mind, the big question fans have pre-fight is which man has more left to give in the sport.
Speaking to FightHype, ‘BoMac’ summed the fight up similarly, saying that a prime Spence wins, but a prime Tszyu can cause problems.
“That’s gonna be a great fight. If Errol’s gonna be himself, he should win, but we don’t know what he got left. If Tim comes in and is himself, he’ll push Errol to the edge.”
Asked if he believes it’s a 50/50 contest, McIntyre said no.
“No, I don’t think so. I think Errol probably will win.
Spence vs Tszyu will be fought at a 158lbs catchweight. It tops a card on July 25 in Sydney, Australia, which also features Jermall Charlo and Stephen Fulton.
