Errol Spence Jr. has announced his retirement from professional boxing following his defeat to Tim Tszyu, bringing the curtain down on one of the sport’s most accomplished careers.
The announcement comes after Spence suffered a unanimous decision loss to Tszyu, a result that marked the final bout of his professional career. While retirement discussions often follow high-profile defeats, Spence has now confirmed that he is stepping away from the sport.
Throughout his career, Spence established himself as one of boxing’s standout competitors. His achievements earned him recognition among the elite fighters of his generation, and his name became synonymous with some of the biggest contests in the sport.
His final appearance came against Tim Tszyu, who earned a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards. The result not only added another significant win to Tszyu’s résumé but also served as the closing chapter of Spence’s time in the professional ranks.
Although no further details have been confirmed regarding Spence’s future plans beyond retirement, his decision marks the end of an era for a fighter who spent years competing at the highest level. His accomplishments and contributions to boxing will remain an important part of his legacy.

For Tszyu, the victory takes on even greater significance, having defeated one of the sport’s most respected names in what proved to be Spence’s farewell contest. It further strengthens Tszyu’s standing and could open the door to more major opportunities in the future.
Spence’s retirement also leaves fans reflecting on a career filled with memorable moments and notable achievements. While every fighter eventually reaches the end of the road, few leave the sport with the level of respect Spence earned during his years as a professional.
As boxing looks ahead, attention will turn to Tszyu’s next move, while Spence begins a new chapter away from the ring. His retirement closes an important chapter in modern boxing, and his place among the sport’s accomplished competitors is secure.
