Tszyu vs Spence: Who's the favourite to win?

Spence goes in as the slight favourite, but this is a much closer fight than you'd expect given his history.

The biggest factor is the time he's spent away from the ring.

Spence hasn't stepped into the ring since losing to Terence Crawford in July 2023.

He's now 36, moving up to middleweight and making his comeback on Tszyu's home turf.

Tszyu, meanwhile, has been busy.

He's won his last two bouts, most recently beating Denis Nurja by decision in April.

More importantly, he's never lost on Australian soil.

What else is on the card?

Former world champion Stephen Fulton faces Australia's Liam Wilson at super featherweight and Paulo Aokuso fights Luis Antonio Tejeda for the vacant IBF Inter-Continental light heavyweight title.

Jermall Charlo was set to face Koen Mazoudier at super middleweight, but the fight has been cancelled after Charlo was denied a visa.
