Why are we fighting at 158? Might as well fight at 160.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked whether the change was because he was struggling to make weight or had concerns about the fight, Spence quickly dismissed the idea.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I was scared I wouldn\u2019t have taken the fight. In Australia I\u2019m the big fish. I\u2019m the A-side.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I didn\u2019t want to fight here, I don\u2019t have to fight here.\u201d<\/p>\n Spence also brushed off Tszyu\u2019s repeated claims that making his comeback against an opponent of the Australian\u2019s calibre \u2013 without taking a tune-up fight first \u2013 was a major gamble. <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t give a f*** what he says,\u201d Spence said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe can say it\u2019s a big mistake. We\u2019ll see when we enter the ring. When we face off against each other.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked what weaknesses he sees in the Aussie\u2019s game, he replied: \u201cHe\u2019s just a regular fighter to me. He doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n “That’s Cap” Tszyu\/Spence fiery face-off | 01:42<\/p>\n Spence was also treated to a Welcome to Country ceremony by Indigenous Aussies.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was dope, man,\u201d he grinned.<\/p>\n \u201cGetting welcomed by the Aborigines as soon as I came out after a long flight.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m happy about it. It woke me up a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
