Errol Spence Jr. appears to be headed back inside the ring.
The former world champion from DeSoto, according to multiple outlets, is scheduling a June fight against former junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu in Australia.
Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) has competed since his 2023 defeat at the hands of Terence Crawford in a mega welterweight unification bout in Las Vegas. Spence, now 35, was knocked down three times by a dominant Crawford before the fight was stopped in the ninth round, handing the Spence the only loss of his career.
After a run of three losses in four fights, Tszyu (26-3, 18 KOs) defeated Anthony Velazquez by unanimous decision in December, and reportedly will line up another fight prior to fighting Spence.
