Tim Tszyu vs Joseph Spencer: Fight Guide
Tim Tszyu faces arguably the biggest fight of his career to date in this 10-round contest against American Joseph Spencer. Back-to-back defeats in world title fights have put Tszyu in must-win territory against someone that 12 months ago would have been nowhere on his radar. Spencer, a nine-time amateur champion, is no pushover and will try to exploit any scars Tszyu is still carrying from his losses in 2024.
