The location and date for Tim Tsyzu\u2019s blockbuster showdown against Errol Spence Jr. has reportedly been locked in and it is great news for Australian boxing fans.<\/p>\n

Tszyu vs Diaz | Wednesday 6 May from 7pm AEST | Nikita Tszyu continues his rise in boxing as he takes on Spain\u2019s undefeated Oscar Diaz. | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to multiple reports, the bout is scheduled for Sunday July 26 and will take place down under, with the exact location yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Boxing insider Dan Rafael was first to report the news.<\/p>\n

It comes after Code Sports reported<\/a> earlier in the week that Spence\u2019s hometown of Dallas was the favourite to host the fight should it have been held in the United States. <\/p>\n

Venues in Sydney and Brisbane had also been floated, while the Gold Coast\u2019s Cbus Super Stadium \u2014 with a capacity of 27,000 \u2014 recently entered the mix. <\/p>\n

Former undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo made his prediction for the bout earlier this week<\/a>, backing Tszyu to win and challenging the Australian to a fight should he defeat Sebastian Fundora. <\/p>\n

But Tszyu must first get the job done against Spence before turning his attention to a potential fight with Charlo and the Australian already appears locked in, having this week axed his entire fight team<\/a> for the second time in six months. <\/p>\n

The move has seen Tszyu part ways with Cuban boxing coach Pedro Diaz, strategic adviser Mike Altamura and manager Darcy Ellis while reuniting with Hall of Famer Jeff Fenech <\/p>\n

Speaking to Main Event\u2019s Ben Damon after that decision<\/a>, Tszyu promised he would be part of \u201cone of the greatest victories in Australian boxing history\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis combination, Tszyu and Fenech, it\u2019s not just going to be remembered in boxing history, but sporting history,\u201d Tszyu said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time in the making and I wanted a big Australian synergy, you know.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomething that has never happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this [fight with Spence] will be one of the greatest victories in Australian boxing history.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The location and date for Tim Tsyzu\u2019s blockbuster showdown against Errol Spence Jr. has reportedly been locked in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629439,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-629438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
