Boxing World Reacts To Tim Tszyu vs Nurja

Tim Tszyu vs Nurja proved to be an entertaining fight for fans.

There could be only one winner though.

An inevitable one at the end of the day.

That was Tim Tszyu by UD on points. Here is some of the reaction so far:

It looks like he is pushing for a fight with Errol Spence next up.

Although Spence has returned to training he hasn’t fought for around four years so it is unclear what is happening with his comeback fight date.

Here’s the key insights on the fight from Tszyu this weekend in case you missed it:

• Tim Tszyu def. Denis Nurja by unanimous decision (10 rounds)
• Scorecards: 100-88, 100-88, 100-88 (shutout — Tszyu won every round on all three judges’ cards)
• Tszyu improves to 27-3 (18 KOs)
• Nurja drops to 20-1 (9 KOs)

Key Facts & Highlights

• The fight was a dominant, one-sided performance by Tszyu against a previously undefeated opponent.
• In round 4: A clash of heads caused a nasty cut under Tszyu’s left eye (he needed stitches afterward, but called it “just a scratch”). Tszyu responded by dropping Nurja with a left hook later in the same round.
• Nurja was deducted a point in round 7 for excessive holding.
• Tszyu controlled the pace throughout, landing cleaner and harder shots while Nurja struggled to mount any real offense.
• Post-fight, Tszyu called out a big future matchup: “Me and Errol Spence is going to be one hell of a fight.” This win positions him strongly for a potential clash with Errol Spence Jr. later in 2026 — Spence would be the underdog in that we believe.

Here’s a breakdown of the punch stats from this weekend:

Power Punches

Tim Tszyu marches on and if the Spence fight happens, a good fight, and, a good fight for him we would say at this point.

Ring rust is real and Spence has been gone from boxing for some time now.

Before that he had that car crash as well and the beating Terence Crawford gave him as well.
