Former middleweight titlist and Spence stablemate Jermall Charlo will also be on the card, an individual connected to the card confirmed to BoxingScene Friday following reports of Charlo’s addition.
Houston’s Charlo, 34-0 (23 KOs), last fought 12 months ago, when he defeated Thomas LaManna by sixth-round TKO in Las Vegas.
That bout was supposed to serve as a precursor to a Charlo showdown with former IBF super-middleweight boss Caleb Plant, but Plant was upset by Armando Resendiz.
Plant slapped Charlo in the face backstage at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas at the July 2023 weigh-in for Spence’s eventual TKO undisputed welterweight title loss to Terence Crawford.
Former three-belt welterweight champion Spence is fighting for the first time since the Crawford loss when he meets Tszyu July 26 at a venue yet to be finalized in Australia. Tszyu has lost three times since March 2024.
Charlo and Spence are both trained in Texas by veteran cornerman Ronnie Shields.
