Tim Tszyu’s Comeback match against Joey Spencer will take place on Saturday, April 5 at the Newcastle Entertainment Center in Newcastle, Australia. It is a must-win for former WBO junior middleweight champion Tszyu (24-2, 17 COs) for losing his last two fights against Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fundora. Some fans believe the 29-year-old is being washed.
Must-win battle
Obviously, if Tim loses to Spencer, it’s almost that. One can give Tszyu a pass to be known from the water Bakhram Murtazaliev In his last fight when he faced an unbeaten IBF 154-Pond champion, the other top fighters in the division were avoided like the pest.
Even Terence Crawford chose not to mix it with him when he moved up to 154 last August. Tszyu didn’t know what he was doing.

Spencer (19-1, 11 costs) is a competent fighter with just one loss on his resume and lost out on March 25, 2023 against Jose Ramos with a seventh round. Before the loss, Spencer looked good and won his first 16 fights, which was destined to win a world title. It was too big of a detection in class.
Spencer is a good comeback opponent for Tszyu to show that he is back. It wouldn’t make sense for his promoters to throw him back in the deep point against one of the killers such as Serhii Bohachuk, Israel Madrimov or Charles Conwell.
“This is my salvation tour,” says Tszyu. “I’m coming stronger, hungry and ready to prove a point. There is no relief in non-no rise fighting non-just straight into the fire with a very, very good fighter in Joey Spencer. He is a real fighter, a dangerous opponent, and exactly the kind of challenge I want … I’m here to make a statement. If I have to walk, I have to come back, so be it. That’s what I live. ‘
