Errol Spence Jr. recently took to social media to express his interest in facing the winner of the upcoming fight between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora. The former unified welterweight champion has been out of the ring since his loss to Terence Crawford last July, sparking speculation about his return. Now, it seems that Spence, at 33 years old, has set his sights on Tszyu as his next opponent.
WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu, on the other hand, has made it clear that he will prioritize the fight that offers the most lucrative payday, whether it’s against Spence or Crawford. Tszyu’s management will assess the financial incentives from both potential matchups to determine the best course of action. Spence has confirmed that he will be present at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to witness Tszyu vs. Fundora firsthand.
Potential Crawford Appearance
While it remains uncertain if Terence Crawford will be in attendance at the event, it is unlikely to influence Tszyu’s decision-making process. As Tszyu’s manager, Glen Jennings, emphasized the importance of facing a formidable opponent like Tim Tszyu, who is known for his power and precision. Jennings shared his anticipation for a dominant performance from Tszyu against Fundora, with hopes for an early finish to pave the way for future opportunities.
Former boxer Shawn Porter weighed in on the Tszyu vs. Fundora matchup, acknowledging the potential for an exciting and evenly matched fight. Porter highlighted the need for Fundora to improve his defensive skills and strategic movements in the ring. Despite believing in Tszyu’s capabilities, Porter acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the fight, deeming it a 50-50 contest.
Errol Spence Jr.’s interest in facing the winner of Tszyu vs. Fundora adds an intriguing dynamic to the upcoming fight. With Tszyu prioritizing financial considerations and expert opinions favoring an intense showdown, the anticipation for the bout continues to grow. As fans eagerly await the outcome, the boxing world braces for a potentially explosive matchup between two skilled fighters.
