Errol Spence Jr. faces Tim Tszyu in UK bout: how to watch, ring walk time, TV details
Errol Spence Jr. steps into the ring against Tim Tszyu on 20 July 2026, a fight that pits the undefeated American against the hungry Australian in a bid to keep his welterweight title hopes alive.
What’s the fight about?
This is Errol Spence Jr.’s first appearance in the UK since his 2023 split decision loss to Terence Crawford. The 32-year-old American now faces Tim Tszyu, the 28-year-old WBO interim titlist, in a 12-round welterweight showdown at Wembley Arena. Tszyu brings a 24-1 record and a streak of eight straight wins, while Spence Jr. carries a 28-2 mark and a reputation for elite pressure boxing.
How to watch in the UK
British fans can stream the full card on DAZN, starting at 7:00 p.m. BST. The main event ring walk is scheduled for 10:00 p.m. BST, with undercard bouts beginning at 4:00 p.m. BST. DAZN’s coverage includes pre-fight analysis, in-ring interviews, and post-fight press conferences.
Why this fight matters for Spence Jr.
A win keeps Spence Jr. in line for a rematch with Crawford or a shot at unified champion Jaron Ennis. A loss would force him to regroup and could derail his title plans. Tszyu already holds wins over Jeff Horn and Jack Catterall, so Spence Jr. must solve a slick southpaw with heavy hands and deep cardio.
What’s next after this?
If Spence Jr. prevails, expect immediate talks for a mega-fight with Ennis or Crawford. A Tszyu victory could push him straight into the mandatory slot against Ennis. Either way, the victor sets up a potential unification clash in late 2026 or early 2027.
The welterweight division stays stacked, and this fight is the latest chapter in a rivalry that could define the next era of 147-pound boxing.
