Spence vs Tszyu: Start time, undercard and how to watch fight

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.
