Tim Tszyu vs Joey Spencer April 6, 2025

Published by Shawn C.

Tim Tszyu, the former WBO junior middleweight champ, is getting ready to face Joey Spencer on April 6th, 2025, in a big fight at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre in Australia. This fight will be shown on Kayo Sports in Australia and Amazon Prime Video in the U.S. After a tough time, Tszyu lost his last two fights. First, he lost his title to Sebastian Fundora in a split decision on March 30, 2024. Then, he got knocked out in the third round against IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev on October 19, 2024. With a record of 24-2 (17 KOs), Tszyu is at a turning point. A loss to Spencer, who has a 19-1 record with 11 knockouts, could mean the end of his chances of being a top contender in the 154-pound division.

Spencer is a better fighter than most of the guys Tszyu has fought before, but he’s still a winnable opponent for Tszyu. His only loss was in 2023 against Jesus Ramos, a better fighter, and he’s since won three of his last three fights. Tszyu says this fight is a chance to prove himself again after a winless 2024 that made him look weak against Murtazaliev. He’s called it a “must-win” moment, a chance to show everyone he’s still a fighter.

This fight is important. A win could lead to bigger fights later in 2025, maybe against names like Keith Thurman, who’s already said he wants to fight Tszyu if he beats Brock Jarvis in March. But a loss could mean Tszyu will be ranked lower, which could hurt his chances of getting bigger fights. For Tszyu, it’s not just about getting back on track—it’s about staying in the division. He’s counting on his strength and the fire of a comeback to show he’s still a fighter, but the question is: after those tough losses, how much does he have left?
