News Summary:

Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), led by Al Haymon, announced plans on May 1, 2026, to bring former three-belt welterweight champion Errol Spence Jnr back from a nearly three-year hiatus for a July 25 Prime Video pay-per-view junior-middleweight bout against former 154lbs champion Tim Tszyu in Tszyu’s home country, Australia. The promotion also anticipates the returns of Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach this year. This follows welterweight Zayas's criticism on April 5, 2026, of Sebastian Fundora's matchmaking after Fundora defeated Chordale Booker on March 22, with Fundora reportedly pursuing a Tim Tszyu rematch rather than facing his mandatory challenger. Previously, on March 28, 2026, commentary noted that Fundora, aged 28, was approaching his peak, while Thurman, despite having destroyed his last opponent Brock Jarvis, continued to intrigue. This came after Fundora successfully defended his WBC 154lbs belt against Keith Thurman on March 27, 2026, in the Prime Video/PPV.COM main event at MGM Grand. Yoenis Tellez also featured on the pay-per-view co-main event, facing Brian Mendoza, the only man to have previously defeated Fundora. Earlier, on March 20, 2026, a report detailed how consistent withdrawals, failed negotiations, and repeated false dawns over the last five years have derailed the careers of the Charlo Brothers, once considered long-term anchors of the PBC era.
