A fight between Errol Spence Jr. and Tim Tszyu continues to simmer and, the way in the fighters are framing, it seems like it\u2019s easy to make and easier to sell.<\/p>\n

Australian boxer Tszyu, who recently beat Denis Nurja<\/a> at middleweight, told Brian Custer that a prospective fight with the former unified welterweight would follow a recent theme that shows the new generation pushing the older guard into retirement.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook at what happened with [Keith] Thurman,\u201d Tszyu said, referencing Sebastian Fundora\u2019s mercilessly brutal victory, last month. \u201cAnd for me, Errol Spence is in that generation and that\u2019s what I expect to do against him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mere moments after dominating Nurja, Tszyu called for a fight with Spence, saying he was ready. The American, who was perhaps watching the bout, and call-out, at the time, did not take long to respond, saying on X: \u201cI\u2019m do you so bad.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Spence responded to Tszyu\u2019s comments to Custer, too.<\/p>\n

Having rebounded from his own loss to Fundora with two wins on the spin, Tszyu now appears to be looking at a big fight whether it takes place in the United States \u2014 a market Tszyu is familiar with already \u2014 or in a territory in his own country.<\/p>\n

The fight makes sense for Spence, too, as he is yet to fight since losing by knockout to Terence Crawford in 2023 and has, per a Boxing Social source<\/a>, been giving serious consideration to a return to the ring. He\u2019d compete again for the right fight, we heard. Tszyu might just be right.<\/p>\n

Whether it takes place at super welterweight or middleweight remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul Told Theo Von UFC is Dying<\/p>\n

\"Jake<\/p>\n

Jake Paul recently joined Theo Von for an appearance on the comic\u2019s This Past Weekend podcast, and pointed to the difference in social media numbers between himself, and the next-biggest fight promoter online, Dana White. \u201cI\u2019m three times bigger than he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul later criticized White for failing to book Jon Jones at the upcoming UFC event on the lawns of The White House. He also questioned the logic of booking Ilia Topuria against Justin Gaethje, saying it\u2019s a losing fight for the American ahead of the country\u2019s 250th anniversary celebrations. \u201cBig mistake,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey forgot their heart as a company \u2026 that\u2019s the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UFC is \u201cdying,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cThe best people in the sport become wrestlers and they just hold on \u2026 Khabib [Nurmagomedov], Khamzat [Chimaev] \u2014 boring; nobody wants to watch that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jake Paul said Dana White isn\u2019t smart enough and the UFC is dying \ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have a Spaniard beating a white American on the patriotic White House card. Big mistake. Why not pay Jon Jones?<\/p>\n

The best fighters are wrestlers. Khabib. Khamzat. Boring. No one wants that.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/ASvp9EqR8c<\/a><\/p>\n

Alycia Baumgardner\u2019s Comments to Caroline Dubois Spark Backlash<\/p>\n

\"Alycia<\/p>\n

And, elsewhere, the back-and-forth between Alycia Baumgardner and Caroline Dubois continues.<\/p>\n

For me, this is one of the best fights to be made in boxing, period. In the women\u2019s bracket, or the men\u2019s. Dubois is Britain\u2019s fast-rising star, and Baumgardner\u2019s momentum has lately halted. One has the backing of a nation, while the other is one of the biggest stars in the sport. The fight makes sense. Not least because they\u2019d talk a lot of s*** in the build-up. The promotion alone would be must-see let alone what they deliver in the middle of the ring on live TV. The biggest problem though is that while Dubois covets the fight, Baumgardner talks down to Dubois. She\u2019s not ready. There\u2019s levels. <\/p>\n

Baumgardner had more to say this week, blasting Dubois for what she described as a lackadaisical performance over their shared opponent Terri Harper. \u201cShe\u2019s not the biggest fight next.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll put her in the dirt \u2026 I could never be scared of a C-level person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her comments sparked backlash.<\/p>\n

Boxing commentator and podcaster Naji Chill, for instance, posted three duck emojis in a row.<\/p>\n
