Former welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr has retired from boxing after losing his comeback fight to Tim Tszyu in Sydney.<\/b><\/p>\n
American Spence Jr, 36, held the WBA, WBC and IBF belts and was undefeated in 28 fights before being beaten by Terence Crawford three years ago.<\/a><\/p>\n His first fight back saw him on the back foot throughout against Australian Tszyu, losing 118-110, 117-111, 117-111 on points.<\/p>\n “I think yeah, for sure,” Spence said when asked if this was the end of the road for his career.<\/p>\n “I’ve got my faculties intact. My money is good at working for itself. Everything’s good, man.<\/p>\n “I’ve got a beautiful family, and I thank God I’m gracious to leave this sport with my faculties intact and my family still by my side.”<\/p>\n Tszyu grew in confidence and power throughout the fight and consistently looked to attack Spence’s chin. He now wants a shot at a title of his own.<\/p>\n “I had sleepless nights thinking about, ‘What am I going to feel like facing a legend like that?’ But it was one hell of a show, and I understand why he’s one of the greats,” Tszyu said.<\/p>\n “I’d love to fight for a title. That’s what I’m aiming for. But I’ve got to say beating a great like Errol Spence tops a world title.”<\/p>\n Spence won his first title in 2017 when he beat British fighter Kell Brook at Bramall Lane.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
