Terence Crawford has predicted the outcome of a clash between Errol Spence and Tim Tszyu.
It was reported last month that former unified world welterweight champion Spence would make his long-awaited return to the ring against Tszyu this summer, with an official announcement expected to be made in due course.
‘The Truth’ has been out of action since he suffered the first defeat of his professional career to ‘Bud’ Crawford when they locked horns for the undisputed welterweight championship in Las Vegas back in July of 2023.
Australian star Tszyu, who previously held the WBO world light-middleweight title, last fought in December when he defeated Anthony Velazquez via unanimous decision at the conclusion of their non-title bout at the TikTok Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia.
Before the planned clash against Spence, Tszyu is set to be in action this weekend, as he goes up against unbeaten contender Denis Nurja at the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong for the vacant WBO International middleweight title.
Having shared the ring with Spence, former pound-for-pound star ‘Bud’ Crawford has shared his thoughts on who he believes will be victorious when Spence and Tszyu cross paths later this year.
Speaking on social media recently, Crawford didn’t hesitate to back his former rival to defeat Tszyu in what will be his first ring appearance in just shy of several years.

Spence was actually slated to face WBC world light-middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora last year but negotiations between the fighters came to a halt after they failed to reach a suitable agreement on terms.
