What a career 👏#SpenceTszyu pic.twitter.com/Uo2wBdCj2W— DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) July 26, 2026 On Saturday night, Spence and Tszyu produced fireworks in the opening round, with both men landing power punches. A trio of clean rights snapped back the head of Spence and looked to have hurt the Texan, which allowed Tszyu to assert early control in the contest. Tszyu, however, failed to capitalize on the strong start. Spence outworked him in the second and third rounds, landing frequently to the body, with Spence's combination punching allowing him to separate himself from Tszyu's lack of volume.Still, it was apparent that Spence's balance was off from the start from the way that he was moving and taking shots. Spence also looked uncomfortable facing Tszyu's pressure and size; it's rare for the American to have somebody push him back.The pair traded rounds through an entertaining opening six frames, before Tszyu began to take control in the second half of the fight. He put together back-to-back rounds after finding consistent success with his right hand in the seventh. Spence was unable to time Tszyu's straight right and left hook, and became a sitting duck for those punches throughout the contest. They caught Spence often, and they caught him flush.After losing a string of rounds, Spence had his best moment since the early going in Round 10 after connecting with a strong left hand. Spence, however, was unable to hurt Tszyu, unlike Tszyu's punches, which were visibly affecting the future Hall of Famer. Before the start of Round 11, Spence was told in his corner by new trainer Ronnie Shields that he wasn't active enough. Spence then delivered on Shields' instructions and produced his best round in the second half of the bout in the penultimate session. Entering Round 12, Spence knew he had to finish strong, but it was Tszyu who fought on the front foot and still had something left in the tank. The Aussie dominated the final frame against a fatigued Spence, who had left it all in the ring in Round 11.At the end of 36 minutes, there was no doubt that Tszyu had done enough, although the judges’ cards were wider than most observers expected.Tszyu, a former WBO super welterweight champion, confirmed post-fight that he would continue his career at middleweight after capturing his biggest win to date.Tim Tszyu spoils Errol Spence Jr.’s return to the ring 🇦🇺 pic.twitter.com/qdCYUnLJ7R— Uncrowned (@uncrownedcombat) July 26, 2026 Stephen Fulton and Liam Wilson were supposed to clash in the co-feature, but the fight was called off after Fulton badly missed the 133-pound catchweight limit by 6.5 pounds.Check out complete Spence vs. Tszyu results and highlights below, as well as Uncrowned's play-by-play of the main card.Main cardMiddleweight: Errol Spence Jr. def.
