Former world champion and Australian superstar Tim Tszyu will return to the ring, taking on rising contender Joey Spencer in the super welterweight main event of PBC Championship Boxing on Prime Video action on Saturday, April 5 (U.S. date and time) from the Newcastle Entertainment Centre in Newcastle, Australia.

The event will begin at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, with the action streaming exclusively on Prime Video for all Prime members in the United States and select countries.

A superstar in his native Australia, Tszyu hopes to bounce back from a world title defeat in his last outing with victory over the talented contender Spencer, entering this fight on a three-bout winning streak and can earn his own signature victory.

The event is promoted by No Limit Boxing and The Rose Brothers, in association with TGB Promotions.

The son of International Boxing Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu, Tim Tszyu has already joined his father in the ranks of world champion and will look to further his place in this era of 154-pound greats.

The 30-year-old Tszyu (24-2, 17 KOs) will return to action after a tumultuous 2024 that saw him come up on the short end of two action fights, with his most recent bout ending by third-round knockout to undefeated IBF 154-pound champion Bakhram Murtazaliev in October. Prior to that fight, he challenged now WBO and WBC 154-pound world champion Sebastian Fundora, losing a decision.

“This is my redemption tour,” said Tszyu. “I’m coming back stronger, hungrier and ready to prove a point. There’s no easing back in – no tune-up fights – just straight into the fire with a very, very good fighter in Joey Spencer. He’s a real fighter, a dangerous opponent and exactly the kind of challenge I crave…I’m here to make a statement. If I have to walk through fire to get back on top, so be it. This is what I live for.”

The 24-year-old Spencer (19-1, 11 KOs) turned pro in February 2018. Spencer lost the step-up bout to Jesus Ramos, which served as the co-main event to the David Benavidez vs. Caleb Plant pay-per-view event, and will now look to prove his mettle with another chance against elite competition in the 154-pound division.

After that fight, Spencer returned in December 2023 to defeat Marcelo Fabian Bzowski, before knocking out veteran Janer Gonzalez in the sixth round of their August 2024 matchup. He most recently made it a three-fight winning streak last December, earning a decision over previously-unbeaten Miguel Angel Hernandez.

“I’ve watched Tszyu for a long time – his style, his mentality – the guy’s a real warrior,” said Spencer. “He’s the kind of fighter who doesn’t back down. He takes on all comers, no excuses, he just gets in there and fights…I’m coming to take him out. I’m not here just to share the ring with him. I’m coming to win. Period.”
