The search for Tim Tziu to return to the top of the Featherlight Medium Boxing Division will start on April 6 in Newcastle, and his camp confirms the fight against the highly advertised American perspective Joseph Spencer.
The 30-year-old Australian tries to jump back after a mutilating career of 2024, in which he suffered a failure that dropped him from international boxing radar.
In March, Tsyza (24-2, 17 KO) gave up his world medium WBO title with a fractional loss from Sebastian Funda in Las Vegas, in a fight in which he suffered a nasty cut above his left eye, which eventually confined his vision. At that time, he was unable to bounce against the IBF Super Welter champion Bakhram Murtazaliev in Orlando six months later. Tziu was abandoned four times in the first three rounds and seemed shy and inactive in shock, one -sided romance.
The Promotional Team Tziu, No Limit, warned their man against meeting Spencer so quickly, but Sydneysider remained adamant that he needed “straight back to the fire”, desperate efforts to resuscitate a boxing career.
“This is my redemption trip,” said Tsyzyu. “I come back stronger, more hungry and ready to prove a point. There is no inside. We chose a deep end. No safety network, no sultry -up. Sink or swimming. I am here to say a statement. If I have to go through the fire to go back
“Fighting back home in Australia, and especially in Newcastle, does it even more unique. It was too long and I can’t wait to enter this ring, feel the energy of the home and bring it for my fans. “
The 24-year-old Spencer (19-1, 11 KO) is a nine-time American champion, who recently entered a conversation to fight the Division Stud Fund. Spencer won both fights in 2024 in a clinical way, first with a knockout against Janer Gonzalez, and then by the decision of the majority over Miguel Angel Hernandez.
“I have been watching Tych for a long time; His style, his mentality. The guy is a real warrior, “said Spencer. “He is a kind of warrior who does not withdraw. He takes all the newcomers, without excuses, he just gets in and fighting.
“You look at what he did by changing opponents, taking risks, he is built for it. This is a kind of warrior I respect. But I come to pull him out. I’m not here to just share the ring with it. I come to win. “
Spencer was previously a witness to Tziu up close, fighting and defeated Ravshan Hudayynazarov Uzbekistan at Undercard of Tsyzyu-Terrell Gausha in Minneapolis three years ago, it was Australia’s debut on American land.
On April 6, between Tsyza and Spencer will take place in Newcastle Entertainment Center, 100 kilometers north of Sydney. It is expected that it will take place on Sunday afternoon and will be broadcast live to the United States in the evening of April 5 (ET).
