SYDNEY WEIGH-IN REPORT: Spence and Tszyu On Weight; Co-Main Event Cancelled After Fulton Blows Weight By NewsHub @ PhilBoxing PhilBoxing.com Sat, 25 Jul 2026  The ceremonial and official weigh-ins for Sunday morning's middleweight showdown between Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and Tim “The Phoenix” Tszyu took place on Friday afternoon at the ICC Theatre in Darling Harbour. While both main event fighters tipped the scales in pristine condition at the 160-pound limit, the event was rocked by breaking news: the co-main event between former two-division world champion Steven Fulton Jr. and Queensland’s Liam Wilson has been officially cancelled after Fulton missed weight by a massive margin. Main Event Official: Spence and Tszyu Scale Identical 159 lbs Following weeks of weight-limit adjustments that saw the bout shift from 154 to 158 and finally to 160 pounds, both combatants hit the scale with zero issues: • Tim Tszyu: 159.0 lbs (72.1 kg) • Errol Spence Jr.: 159.0 lbs (72.1 kg)  Both fighters looked refreshed and well-hydrated compared to their previous appearances at 154 pounds. During the final face-off, Spence and Tszyu engaged in an intense, silent glare under heavy security before offering brief final statements. "A lifetime of work, and I thank you Australia, each and every one of you guys. Let's do it for this country, man," Tszyu told ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. Spence was equally succinct: "I thank everybody for coming out, and there's nothing more to say. It's fight time, I'm ready to go."  BREAKING: Fulton vs. Wilson Cancelled After Severe Weight Miss The major drama of the morning unfolded when host Ben Damon and promoter George Rose confirmed that the high-stakes co-main event between Steven Fulton Jr. and Liam Wilson has been pulled from the card. Despite both camps agreeing on Thursday to bump the contract limit up to a 133-pound catchweight, Fulton arrived at the morning’s official scale weighing 139.5 pounds—missing the agreed mark by 6.5 pounds and the original super featherweight limit by 9.5 pounds. A disappointed Liam Wilson, who made weight comfortably at 133 pounds, took the stage to address fans: "I put my heart and soul in this sport. I train very hard for a big opportunity... It was uncontrollable for me. I put in all the hard work, I did everything correct on my end, and Fulton couldn't make weight," Wilson stated.
