Two-time welterweight world champion Shawn Porter hopes Tim Tszyu avoids starting too aggressively with powerful, inaccurate punches right from the bell. He believes such an approach could be detrimental for the Australian boxer.

Following his previous fight where a headhunting strategy led to a knockout loss against Bakhram Murtazaliev, Tszyu concerned No Limit promoter George Rose. Tszyu mentioned he might still consider a high-pressure, all-out approach seeking an early finish against Spencer.

Tim Tszyu weighed in at 69.86kg yesterday morning, meeting the required weight. Remarkably, just four hours later, he had already gained 5kg. Tszyu stated he anticipates adding a total of 10kg by the time the fight commences.

Confidence has never been an issue for Tim Tszyu, and he remains extremely confident leading into today’s fight. However, he has acknowledged the potential career implications of a third consecutive defeat.

Natasha Tszyu has witnessed her former husband Kostya and her eldest son Tim compete in demanding boxing matches. Now, she has declared that she will no longer attend their fights, stating ‘enough is enough’.
