Tim Tszyu Ends Career of Errol Spence and Turns to World Titles!
After a three-year exodus from boxing, former unified welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. returned to action. He faced war-ready “Phoenix” Tim Tszyu in Australia. Spence challenged Tszyu in his native homeland to answer several nagging internal questions for himself. It appears that the twelve-round thumping and unanimous decision loss supplied those answers. When the scores were tallied, The Truth lost to the tune of 118-110 and 117-111 (twice).
In the aftermath of the grueling ordeal, Phoenix was overjoyed with the win. Securing Spence’s scalp was a major triumph for him. At the present time, Tszyu is not ranked in the top fifteen of any of the four major sanctioning bodies. During his post-fight interview, the jubilant fighter expressed interest in facing WBA middleweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (32-3-3, 19 KOs).
“Talk to the boys, but I would love to fight for a world title, who is there? [Erislandy] Lara, yeah, guys like that. You know that is what I am aiming for, I want to win a world title. But I have to say, beating a great like Errol Spence tops any world title for me!”
