Terence Crawford was in attendance to watch Errol Spence Jr\u2019s final fight \u2013 a unanimous decision loss to Tim Tszyu in Sydney, Australia.<\/p>\n
Spence ended three years of inactivity following a loss to Crawford in 2023 when he returned this weekend against Tszyu. Fighting at middleweight for the first time in his career, the former pound-for-pound star failed to find the previous form that had led him to victories over the likes of Shawn Porter, Kell Brook and Danny Garcia.<\/p>\n
Though Spence had his moments, producing some good body work and taking advantage of some quiet periods os action from Tszyu, he looked vulnerable when under pressure and fell away from the contest as the rounds progressed, other than a spirited effort in the eleventh.<\/p>\n
Tyszu won a wide unanimous decision<\/a> and, post-fight, the 36-year-old southpaw from Dallas, Texas, announced his retirement<\/a>, saying:<\/p>\n \u201cMy money is good, it\u2019s working for itself. Everything\u2019s good, man. I got a beautiful family. I thank God that I\u2019m leaving this sport with my faculties intact and my family still by my side. Everything\u2019s gonna go well \u2026 This has been a great journey for myself \u2013 it\u2019s time to live family life.\u201d<\/p>\n It is a decision that Crawford, who had predicted a Spence win, appears to think is the correct move.<\/p>\n
