Pinoy super welterweight *Ador Torres* is making the most of his time in Thailand, sparring with Australian superstar *Tim Tszyu* ahead of Tszyu’s big July fight.
The two 31-year-old boxers have built real chemistry in the gym.
Despite coming from different corners of the world, they’re pushing each other hard and clearly enjoying their time.
Born in Sydney, Tim Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs) is riding momentum after wins over Anthony Velázquez (18-1-1, 15 KOs) in December and Dennis Nurja [20-1, 9 KOs] last month.
Next for Tim is a major fight in his career: a rumble against crafty former champion *Errol Spence Jr. (28-1, 22 KOs)* on July 25 in Australia.
Tim Tszyu (R) and Ador Torres pose for a photo during a break from their sparring in Bangkok.
That battle will mark Errol Spence’s return to action after his round 9 knockout loss to Terence Crawford (42-0, 31 KOS) three years ago in Las Vegas.
As a southpaw, Torres (15-8-2, 11 KOs) is a perfect sparring partner for Tim to prepare for Spence’s left-handed stance.
The friendly and polite Bicolano born in Magdalena, Sorsogon, is focused on helping Tim Tszyu get sharp and ready for his July super welterweight clash.
Ador and Tim have clicked, and there are two more months of hard work, sweat, and camaraderie ahead of them. 👍
Good luck to Ador and Tim. Philboxing, The Filipino Boxing Portal🇵🇭 wishes the best to both.
