Errol Spence Jr. continues to be linked to a comeback and the former unified welterweight world champion could head overseas for his first bout in almost three years.<\/p>\n
Spence picked up three of the four 147lbs belts by defeating each of Kell Brook, Shawn Porter and Yordenis Ugas ahead of a long-awaited undisputed title showdown with Terence Crawford in 2023.<\/p>\n
There, Spence suffered the first defeat of his career and did so in devastating style, battered from pillar to post by Crawford<\/a>, with many of his fans believing the weight cut and previous injuries sustained in a car crash played their parts in the underwhelming performance from \u2018The Truth\u2019.<\/p>\n As a result, if Spence does return it is believed it will take place up at super-welterweight, and No Limit Boxing\u2019s Matt Rose told BoxingScene<\/a> that he is keen to stage a fight between the American and Tim Tszyu in Australia.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s always fights to be made for Tim, like Errol Spence, but there\u2019s a lot you\u2019ve got to go through to get to that point,\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe main focus is to continue to keep Tim active \u2013 and he\u2019s ready to fight. He come through the last fight really well.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a few things to play out, I think. But do I like the Spence fight? It\u2019s a great fight; it\u2019s a great name. It\u2019s a legacy-type fight, so if we\u2019re able to achieve that that\u2019d be fantastic, but at this stage there\u2019s still a fair bit to happen for that to even get close.\u201d<\/p>\n Tszyu suffered bruising defeats to both Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev in 2024, then beat Joseph Spencer before loses again to Fundora in a rematch. He got back to winning ways in December of last year against Anthony Velazquez.<\/p>\n
