Errol Spence Jr. (28-1, 22 KOs) touched down in Sydney on Thursday morning local time, nine days before his super welterweight showdown with Tim Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) on Saturday, July 25 at Afterpay Arena. The bout headlines a PBC Pay-Per-View available in the United States on Prime Video and DAZN.<\/p>\n
The former unified welterweight champion arrived from Los Angeles alongside trainer Ronnie Shields after a 15-hour flight. The pair was greeted at Sydney Airport with a Welcome to Country ceremony arranged by No Limit Boxing\u2019s Rose Brothers, the Indigenous Australian siblings who have promoted Tszyu throughout his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was dope, man, getting welcomed by the Aborigines as soon as I came out after a long flight,\u201d Spence said. \u201cI\u2019m happy about it. It woke me up a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spence, a Dallas native, made clear he does not view the trip as a disadvantage.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to enjoy it a lot down here. It\u2019ll be a dope event. Hopefully when I come out, not everyone will boo me and I\u2019ll put on a great show. I\u2019m the big fish. I\u2019m going to take over his backyard.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fight marks Spence\u2019s first appearance since his ninth-round stoppage loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023, a layoff of three years. Tszyu, the former WBO junior middleweight champion, has won back-to-back decisions over Anthony Velazquez and Denis Nurja since his July 2025 loss to Sebastian Fundora.<\/p>\n
