Former unified welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. held a media workout in Houston on Wednesday ahead his comeback fight, which takes place Saturday, July 25 in a PBC pay-per-view event on Prime Video from Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia. Spence is currently in training camp with trainer Ronnie Shields, for his big junior middleweight match-up against former champion Tim Tszyu. Here is what Spence (28-1), who has not fought since a 2023 loss to multi-division champion Terence Crawford, had to say Wednesday from Houston:

 

“Camp has been great. I can’t complain at all. We’re putting in the work and leaving no stone unturned. I’m excited.

 

“Ronnie’s style fits me well. I’ve always been a huge fan of Jermall and how he fights. Plus Ronnie has the experience too. I listened to Ronnie’s concept of training and I felt like it fit me to a T. When we worked out, the chemistry felt really good.

 

“I had my first world title fight overseas, plus countless amateur fights. So it’s something I’ve always been comfortable with. I’m not worried about the fans or anything like that, because at the end of the day it’s just me and him in there.

 

“This was the right time to come back, and against the right opponent. My body feels good, so I said why not?

 

“[Jermall] Charlo [Spence's training partner who is fighting on the same show] and I were in the amateurs together as kids, so it’s dope to have somebody that I’ve known a long time in the same gym here and on the same card. We’re focused on the task at hand and that’s conquering Australia.

 

“My motivation to come back is about myself and my personal goals. Everything about training just excites me. You’ve gotta enjoy it while it lasts, because one day it’ll be over. I’m taking it one fight at a time.”
