Errol Spence Jr returns to the ring next weekend, as the former world champion boxes Tim Tszyu after three years out of action.
Spence, 36, has not fought since his seismic undisputed-title fight with Terence Crawford, a bout that was billed as a 50-50 clash, only for Crawford to drop his fellow American three times before stopping him.
Spence, who was unbeaten before that fight, will move from welterweight up to middleweight against Tszyu, as they meet in the latter’s home country of Australia.
Southpaw Spence and Tszyu, 31, were originally due to meet at a 158lb catchweight, before Spence reportedly asked for the limit to be increased. Here’s all you need to know:
