The bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Tim Tszyu has been moved from a 158-pound catchweight to a 160-pound fight to accommodate a request made by Spence, Tszyu's coach Jeff Fenech revealed on Wednesday. Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) and Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) will square off in Australia on July 26 (July 25 in the U.S.) on a card that will stream on DAZN and Prime Video PPV. Spence hasn't fought since a crushing, one-sided stoppage loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023 for the undisputed 147-pound title. Tszyu, a former 154-pound champion, last fought in April, beating Denis Nurja at a 157-pound catchweight. In other news, Crawford will be heading to Sydney next week to be ringside for the fight, a source informed of Crawford's plans told The Ring. Crawford has openly supported Spence during his comeback campaign and even picked the Texan to beat the Aussie. Crawford is having a busy week in New York, as he picked up a third ESPY Award for "Best Fighter" on Wednesday ahead of attending Fanatics Fest at Javits Center this weekend.
