Roy Jones Jr weighs in on Errol Spence vs Tim Tszyu: “He’s highly dangerous”

Published

on

Roy Jones Jr has urged Errol Spence Jr to adapt his approach, and rediscover elements of his amateur style, ahead of his comeback fight against Tim Tszyu.

‘The Truth’ has not fought since his undisputed encounter with Terence Crawford, back when he suffered a surprisingly one-sided ninth-round stoppage defeat in July 2023.

As a result, Spence was relieved of his WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight titles before stepping away from the sport and giving no indication as to whether he would return.

Now, though, the 36-year-old is gearing up to face fellow former world champion Tszyu, who will boast a home advantage when they collide in Australia on July 25.

The pair have reportedly agreed to a limit of 158lbs, with Spence looking to reinvent himself at a new weight and with a new trainer.

Such changes can partly be explained by his defeat to Crawford, as Spence has since expressed his disappointment with the training camp that had been arranged by his then-head coach, Derrick James.

Now training with Ronnie Shields, this feels like an opportunity for the American to right the wrongs and perhaps even gain inspiration from his old amateur style.

Speaking with ALL THE SMOKE FIGHT, Hall of Famer Jones said he would like to see Spence focus more on being an all-round boxer, rather than an all-out pressure fighter.

“Shout out to [Spence] for taking a fight of this magnitude right away, after being [out the ring] for three years.

“He’s taking on a guy who’s been active. [Tszyu’s] not been at the top – not had the best outcomes [in recent fights] – but he’s been highly active and he’s highly dangerous.

“When [Spence] was an amateur fighter, he was an all-round boxer. He just chose to use pressure in the pros but, to get where he wants to get, he’s got to go back to being that [fighter he was as an amateur].”

Spence was a vastly accomplished amateur who became a three-time national champion and entered the 2012 Olympics, only to lose his quarter-final bout against Russia’s Andrey Zamkovoy.

He will be match winner like Bumrah for India

Published

on

Prince Yadav had a memorable outing in the second T20I between India and Ireland. The pacer made his international debut in the format on Sunday, June 28, in Belfast.

He struck in his second over to claim his maiden T20I wicket, dismissing Ireland skipper Lorcan Tucker. Prince came on to bowl the final over of the innings as India bowled first. He claimed two wickets in the over to give the team a solid finish.

On the fourth ball, he first got rid of Harry Tector, who made 53 runs off 47 balls. He then struck again on the last ball, sending Liam McCarthy back to the hut. Prince ended with magnificent figures of 3/22 from four overs on his T20I debut.

Fans lauded the pacer on social media for his impressive performance with the ball.

“Excellent bowling by Prince yadav. Prince has a top notch yorker, he will be match winner like Bumrah for India in the white ball cricket,” a fan tweeted.

“What a memorable debut from Prince Yadav. He has all the ingredients to become legend of this format like Bumrah. He can swing the ball, has good cutters and also has good control over yorkers. Most Importantly he doesn’t leak runs like Arshdeep, Prasidh and Harshit Rana,” another fan wrote.

Below are some other reactions from fans on X –

India restricted Ireland to 154/8 from their 20 overs. Having lost the opening T20I of the two-match series, the Men in Blue are in a must-win position to draw level.

Prince Yadav’s figures stand among the best on T20I debut for an Indian pacer

Having impressed in the IPL 2026 season, with a solid performance in domestic cricket, Prince has carried his form on the international stage as well. His figures of 3/22 on T20I debut stand among the best by an Indian pacer.

Barinder Sran leads this list with figures of 4/10 against Zimbabwe in 2016. Shivam Mavi follows with 4/22 against Sri Lanka in 2023. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/9), Navdeep Saini (3/17), Prince Yadav (3/22), and Jasprit Bumrah (3/23) all have three wickets on their T20I debuts.

Prince will next be seen in action during the upcoming T20I series in England in July, where India will play five T20Is.
