Tim Bradley warns Errol Spence Jr. Against Vergil Ortiz Jr.
Published

Tim Bradley says it’s a bad idea to make Errol Spence Jr. He leaves his pension to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr. He believes that in the case of neurological symptoms, the 35-year-old unified Spence Highlighter Master (28-1, 22 KO) showed in his fight against Terenka Crawford two years ago in 2023, he would not have a chance to defeat Vergil Jr.
Spence’s health, inactivity
Physically, Spence has looked at his three fights since the car accident in 2019. He worsened the situation, remaining outside the ring for a long time between the fights.
Spence inactivity from 2019
- Shawn Porter in September 2019 to Danny Garcia [December 2020]: 14 months
- Danny Garcia [December 2020] To Yordenis Ugas [April 2022]: 16 months
- Yordenis Ugas [April 2022] to Terenka Crawford [July 2023]: 15 months
Apparently, Spence has a net value of $ 15 million, which is much smaller than in the case of current juvenile fighters, such as Ryan Garcia. Collision with Vergil Jr. He would pay well if Alalshikh was involved.
“I hear Spence [coming out of retirement]. Errol Spence, don’t come back unless you need money. You don’t need it. You don’t need boxing. You’ve already done enough – said Tim Bradley with him canalResponding to rumors with a unified welterweight master, Errol Spence Jr., who leaves his pension.
It is understandable why Spence would like to return to the ring now. He probably drew attention to the money that Turks Alalshikh pays fighters, and also wants to take part in the action. Return to the fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr. He can pay even better than his last Crawford in 2023. Errol wore this promotion as the main star, because Crawford was not as popular than now, thanks to Turki.
Why does Spence need “Turki money”
“Ultimately, it will be your decision, like Manny Pacquiao and everyone else, Leaving the woodwork, looking for this Turk’s money. If you need money, I understand it, but for your health, “said Bradley. “We are not a fool. We saw your gate, which means your nervous system, as it was before you fought Crawford.”
Spence was a millionaire from the fight against Crawford. While he did not know in two years that he was not from the ring, he should still be quite luxurious with enough cake to live in the rest of his life in Texas. He bought a vast 60-hectare ranch in Desoto, Texas, after a car accident after the fight against Shawn Porter in 2019.
Neurological problems persist for Spence
“It doesn’t go away. You can stop it for a moment, but it will come back,” Tim said Spence’s neurological problems. “You probably feel good, you walk, training and so on, taking care of yourself. Keep it in this way, because if you enter the ring with Vergil Ortiz, he is not good, elderly. You put your ** into chicken self -tongues. This man has nothing to play with, man.”
It would be a bad move so that Errol would come back and jump straight into a hazardous fight with the WBC Master Junior Medium Weight Vergil Ortiz Jr. No tuning. Even with one or two warming fights, going with 27-year-old Ortiz Jr. It would be a risky movement of Spence. If he were halfway up to the end of the 1920s, the fight against Vergil Jr. It would not be a problem, and he would probably overcome him with his power. But at the age of 35 this is not a good fight that would end well for Errola.
Spence is not “large fish”
“I know you were a large fish. You’re not a large fish anymore, elderly. You can be one of these guppies, man, but there is no large fish,” Bradley said about Errol. “Don’t try to come back, wearing your heart on your sleeve, trying to prove to everyone that you don’t need tuning.
Spence has never been a type that has noted tuning from the ring since 2019. Over the past three fights, he has not been working for over a year, and his performance levels seemed to fall from every fight to the point where he looked like a faded shell because of his fight against Crawford in 2023 in blaming fans of the vintage of Errol’s physical deterioration of Errol. And not living life, remaining in shape.
Bradley assumes the victory of Ortiz Jr.
“If you come back and fight Vergil Ortiz, I definitely put money on Vergil Ortiz. He will stop you, Spence. I promise you,” said Bradley.
It would be more tough to fight for a return at 35 to face Vergil Jr. than his last fight against Terenka Crawford. ORTIZ JR. He is much younger, hits more than Bud and would put pressure without a break on Spence. He has not fought anyone like that since his clash with Shawn Porter six years ago in 2019. ORTIZ JR. He is a bigger blow and would shoot many more shots than a porter.

Fury vs Joshua Tickets Now Available for Highly Anticipated British Heavyweight Clash
Published

July 28, 2026
World Boxing News has found tickets for Tyson Fury’s long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua already being offered online despite no official confirmation that Britain’s biggest heavyweight fight has been signed.
Multiple ticket websites are advertising seats for the proposed contest, one complete with seating plans, pricing and availability, despite no official announcement from either fighter or their promoters.
The listingsfor a November 21 clash at Wembley Stadium have fuelled speculation that Fury and Joshua are finally on course to meet after both returned to winning ways this month.
Fury stopped Mariusz Wach in Thailand before Joshua recovered from two first-round knockdowns to halt Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
Ticket Listings Raise Questions
One ticket marketplace is already claiming to be selling secondary seats, while another company is taking registrations despite acknowledging that key details are still to be confirmed.
The sale has naturally sparked excitement among fans desperate to see Britain’s biggest heavyweight rivalry finally settled after years of failed negotiations, retirement announcements and missed opportunities.
However, none of the major parties involved in the negotiations have officially confirmed the contest.

Still Plenty to Be Decided
How tickets can be on sale for a fight that isn’t even confirmed is anyone’s guess. While some websites are already advertising Fury vs. Joshua seats, there’s no guarantee any of the details prove accurate until the fight is officially announced.
The proposed staging also raises questions for one obvious reason: the British weather. Holding the biggest fight in UK boxing outdoors at that time of year would be a significant gamble given how unpredictable conditions can be.
Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn proved a major late-autumn event can work when they fought at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year. However, Fury vs. Joshua is on another level commercially, and risking Britain’s biggest heavyweight showdown in freezing temperatures or heavy rain would be a bold call.
If the fight does happen on British soil during that period, the safest option would surely be a stadium with a roof. That immediately brings Cardiff’s Principality Stadium into the conversation, offering organisers protection from the elements without taking the event away from British fans.
Even then, there remains a strong belief that the powers behind the event would still prefer the United States.
For now, the appearance of tickets is simply the latest twist in a rivalry that has frustrated British boxing fans for years.
Until Fury, Joshua and the promoters officially announce the fight, supporters should treat any ticket listings as speculative, no matter how convincing they appear.

Heavyweight Shocks Again: Tyson Fury Left Bloodied and Knocked Out Cold

Otto Wallin, the heavyweight who left Tyson Fury covered in blood and was later stopped by Anthony Joshua, suffered another crushing setback when Vladyslav Sirenko knocked him out cold in the final round of their Zuffa Boxing clash in New York.
Wallin was trailing on all three scorecards before Sirenko landed a devastating right hand followed by a left hook in the closing seconds of the tenth and final round.
The Swedish southpaw crashed to the canvas and remained down long enough for a stretcher to be brought into the ring, although he later sat up and responded to medical staff.
From Tyson Fury Scare To Another Knockout
Wallin’s career has become one of the heavyweight division’s biggest “what if” stories.
In 2019, he came within touching distance of ending Tyson Fury’s unbeaten record after opening a horrific cut above the Briton’s right eye that required 47 stitches. Many believed the contest could have been stopped before Fury battled through to win on points.
Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News three years later, Wallin insisted the fight would have been waved off had the roles been reversed.
“I think the cuts that he had were very bad. He had 47 stitches after the fight. If I had those cuts, the doctors would have stopped the fight, for sure,” Wallin told WBN.
Despite that disappointment, Wallin rebuilt his career by defeating current WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev before earning high-profile clashes with Joshua and Derek Chisora.
His defeat to Joshua ended in a fifth-round stoppage. This latest loss to Sirenko marks the second knockout defeat of Wallin’s career and leaves the 35-year-old facing the toughest questions yet over his future.

Vladyslav Sirenko Scores Career-Best Win
For Sirenko, the victory represented the biggest win of his professional career.
The Ukrainian improved to 23-1 with 20 knockouts by stopping one of the heavyweight division’s most respected contenders after bouncing back from last year’s defeat to Solomon Dacres.
Wallin once looked destined for another world title opportunity after pushing Fury to the brink and defeating future WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev.
Two knockout defeats later, that dream looks further away than ever.

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: He Will Take Over
Published

July 27, 2026
Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.
‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.
The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.
Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.
“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”
Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.
The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.
