Tim Tszyu Returns to the Ring on April 6 in Australia

A junior middleweight (154 lbs / 69.85 kg) clash has been announced between former world champion Tim Tszyu (24-2, 17 KOs) and American contender Joseph Spencer (19-1, 11 KOs).

The bout is set for April 6 at Newcastle Entertainment Centre in Newcastle, Australia.

Once an undefeated rising star, Tszyu is looking to rebound after suffering back-to-back defeats. In March, he lost a split decision to Sebastian Fundora, and in October, he suffered a third-round TKO loss to Bakhram Murtazaliev.

Meanwhile, Spencer has been on a three-fight winning streak since his lone career defeat, most recently edging Miguel Angel Hernandez by majority decision in December.
