“Do or die” why Tim Tisz’s fight with Joey Spencer will define his career
Published

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.”

World champion claims Conor Benn pulled out of fight after ‘setting up the whole deal’

Conor Benn could be ready for a world title fight against Ryan Garcia, but there is one reigning world champion who claims the Briton recently pulled out of a title shot even though “the whole deal has already been done.”
Benn made his Zuffa Boxing debut earlier this month. defeating Regis Prograis in a 150-pound catchweight bout – his first fight at sub-154 pounds in four years – and now he looks ready to fight for world titles at welterweight.
Although his position as mandatory challenger for the WBC title put him in line to face Garcia, WBA 147-pound champion Rolando Romero claimed that Benn had withdrawn from the title fight.
I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV“Rolly” explained why he doubted the Garcia fight would happen and revealed that he expected to fight Benn until “The Destroyer” changed his mind.
“Conor Benn waived me, we had the whole deal done, we were supposed to fight on May 30 in Fresh York for my world title, and then he just disappeared out of nowhere.
Conor Benn was there begging to fight me. By the way, we already had everything planned, but he’s in Fresh York trying to create all this fuss and stuff – he did it for advantage. Same with this, he can do this with Ryan too to gain strength.
“They’re out there trying to do all this stuff, I don’t do this imitation beef. That throws me off, you go and do all this imitation beef and then you come here and act like a gigantic, tough guy and then you run away and don’t fight.”
“Maybe he was doing it with Ryan because Ryan would have knocked him out cool.”
Garcia and Benn could collide this summer in Las Vegas when Benn returns to the welterweight division in a direct world title fight.

Jermell Charlo picks Tim Tszyu to defeat Errol Spence Jr

Charlo then launched into a longer explanation, questioning what version of Spence would emerge after his years outside the ring and claiming that style favored Tszyu.
“He has little defense. Errol will come in softly. He doesn’t really move his head. Tim moves his head. He throws a few stone hay shots. “I just follow my fighting style and be realistic.”
Jermell looked like a war veteran and described the fight, giving reasons why he chose Tszyu to beat Spence.
For years, these two towers were the “Twin Towers” of Derrick James’ gym in Dallas. They shared celebrations, sweat and secrets. The problem is that Errol was very vocal about these sessions, essentially telling the world that he was “teaching” Jermell.
For a guy like Charlo, who carries enormous pride and has built his “Lions Only” brand on being the alpha, having a former teammate claim dominance over him is a stain he can’t wash off in a sanctioned fight.
Having never fought professionally, these gym stories are the only narrative that exists and you have to wonder if it’s still eating at him.
Charlo also indicated the location, with the fight expected to take place in Australia.
“He’s going to Australia there. I see Tim Tszyu winning that fight,” Jermell said.
X is having a field day because Charlo looks like a man who sat in a dim room and watched Spence’s training videos over and over again. Fans call this the “villain arc” energy. He spoke quickly, louder and louder, and seemed personally interested in the answer.
During the prophecy, Jermell had a diabolical look in his eyes, as if he were performing a technical exorcism on his elderly rival.
When he has such wide eyes and high energy intensity, he tends to rely on his “Only Lions” personality, which thrives on perceived disrespect. In this case, the disrespect is the years in which Errol Spence Jr. he claimed to be the “substantial brother” at the gym.
“I don’t have to fight Errol Spence and I don’t care about fighting Errol Spence,” Jermell said.
Jermell is essentially using Tim Tszyu as a proxy. Since Charlo hasn’t fought at 154 pounds since 2022, he needs Spence to lose to someone else to prove that the elderly era (the Derrick James era) is over. If Tszyu destroys Spence, it will validate Charlo’s technical criticism and make his inactivity look like a calculated move rather than a decline.

Roy Jones Jr sums up Tyson Fury’s chances of beating top-ranked Lennox Lewis

Britain has produced some great heavyweights in recent years, ending an almost century-long curse and seeing success in the division ever since. Predicting the outcome of the clash between two of the best fighters in the country, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury, Roy Jones Jr said it would be a “great fight”.
Bob Fitzsimmons became the first British world heavyweight champion in 1897, and he and Jones remain the only two fighters in boxing history to have won both middleweight and heavyweight world titles.
However, Great Britain struggled for success in the division after the Fitzsimmons fight, unable to claim heavyweight supremacy until Lennox Lewis became WBC world champion in 1992. Britain has since crowned its title 11th world heavyweight championFabio Wardley, who follows in the footsteps of Fury and Anthony Joshua.
In an interview with Grosvenor CasinoJones said he would give Lewis an advantage over the “Gypsy King” if they met in their prime.
“Tyson Fury vs. Lennox Lewis? That would be a great fight, but my first thought was Lennox Lewis because of his power. But my second thought was also that Tyson Fury was great at making adjustments. I would go with Lennox Lewis.”
At least one heavyweight world title is expected to remain in a Briton’s hands for some time, with Daniel Dubois scheduled to face another Briton, Fabio Wardley, for the WBO belt next month.
In the meantime, we hope 21-year-old Moses Itauma can continue Britain’s success for many years to come, with the youngster considered by many to be the hottest prospect in boxing.
As for Fury, he is focused on the UK-wide megafight with Joshua – their own ‘Battle of Britain’ after Lennox fought Frank Bruno in 1993.
