Newcastle, Australia-in combat sport, every fight can often seem that this is a “” proposal. Fighters and promoters build their fights, as if their life depends on this, the media buy charade, and fans immediately follow them. But most often they remained bloody, bruised and beaten, are able to find a way to raise the pieces and develop.

And then there are those fights that actually do or crack; Fights that define a career or raising a career. The latter is something that stands in the face of Australian Tim Tkuu, when it falls against the growing American phenom Joseph Spencer in Newcastle on Sunday. If TSYZU is not tiny, there will be no more rescue lines.

“It’s sinking or swimming,” said Tych met before his crunchy meeting with Spencer. “This is my redemption trip. I come back a stronger, hungry and ready to prove a point. I’m here to make a statement. If I have to go fire to go back to the top, let it be.

Eighteen months ago, Tsyzyu (24-2, 17 KO) was busy with being one of the hottest fighters in the world. He successfully negotiated the fight against the Division of the Jermell Charlo division, although Americans’ injuries meant that there was never implemented. Instead, Tsyzyu gathered the WBO medium champion belt with the dominant victory over Tony Harrison, and then defended the belt twice, first against Carlos Ocampo, and then Brian Mend. Tsyzu was still supposed to taste the defeat of 24 trips, fulfilling the noise of his legendary name in the world of boxing.

But everything he worked all his life was apparently solved in the blink of an eye. In March last year, Tsyza resigned from his world medium WBO title with a fractional loss from Sebastian Funda in Las Vegas, a fight in which he suffered a nasty cut above the left eye, which circumscribed his vision and eventually imposed his ability to scrap the victory.

At that time, he was unable to bounce against IBF SUPER WELTER WELTER BAKHRAM MURTAZALIEV Six months later, in a fight in which he entered as an overwhelming favorite to win. Tsyzyu was abandoned four times in the first three rounds and seemed shy and torpid in shock, one -sided romance. It was the last loss that left him on his career. Every fan of a fight knows that there is simply no chance to regain space as one of the best boxing, it should slide down to three more failures.

“This is Tim’s biggest career struggle, no doubt. This is or die,” said his promoter George Rose, a week after the fight. “For Tim, the point is to prove that it still belongs at the very top. Winning here winning here back to the mixture with the best in the world. Let’s be real, 154 pounds is now the best division in boxing. The names at the top are huge, and the name Tim deserves to be there.

“Everything that Tim must do is shake off from 2024 with an excellent performance, and he is able to hold him. A substantial win with Spencer, and we talk about Jermell Charlo, Keith Thurman, Sebastian Fund, Errol Spence, Vergil Ortiz … All fights that may follow the next.”

Spencer (19-1, 11 KO) is an extremely risky proposition for Tych. The 24-year-old from Michigan is already a nine-time American champion and has been advertised for some time as one of the real emerging boxing stars. He rides in a series of three fights, defeating Marcelo Fabian Bzowski, Janer Gonzalez and Miguel Angel Hernandez in the last 18 months. And although it will be his first time he fights away from American land, he is convinced that he has tools to break the Tsyzyu event.

“I feel great. It was a great time in Australia and a great ending at the camp,” Spencer said during the fight week. “I think Tim will come out tough. This is an significant fight for both of us. It’s all for both of us.

“For me I want to go to the next level, so I have to get this win. You only get so many boxes in boxing, so when you are in the position in which Tim is, you need to make sure that you will come back on the path of this winners. This is significant for both of us and bring the best of us.”
