Jermall Charlo & Stephen Fulton Jr. Return To Action On
Loaded Spence vs. Tszyu PBC PPV Event July 25
A pair of two-division world champions will take their
talents down under as Jermall Charlo and Stephen Fulton Jr.
return to the ring in separate undercard attractions on a
loaded PBC Pay-Per-View event available LIVE on Prime Video
taking place Saturday, July 25 (U.S. date) from Afterpay
Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Three exciting matchups will lead up to the explosive main
event between former unified world champion and
pound-for-pound great Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and
Australian superstar and former world champion Tim Tszyu.
The undefeated Jermall Charlo will step in to face
Australia’s Koen Mazoudier in a 10-round super middleweight
battle, while former 122 and 126-pound world champion
Stephen Fulton Jr. will face Australian former title
challenger Liam Wilson in a 10-round super featherweight
attraction.
The pay-per-view will kick off with undefeated rising
Australian Olympian Callum Peters entering the ring for 10
rounds of middleweight action.
"It’s an honor to headline the greatest fight card ever
assembled in Australia,” said Tszyu. “It’s an enormous
privilege for me because I know how rare this is for fight
fans to have a card of this magnitude on home soil. Every
time I step into that ring, I'm not just fighting for myself
— I'm fighting for Australia and for everyone who's ever
believed in me. Errol Spence Jr. is a legend of this sport,
one of the greatest to ever do it, but on July 26 I get to
take him out once and for all. Moments like this are history
making. They are rare, you don’t want to miss it.”
"Make no mistake, this is the greatest fight card ever
assembled in Australian boxing history,” said No Limit
Boxing CEO George Rose. “Errol Spence Jr. and Jermall Charlo
on the same card, in the same city, on the same day — that's
a Las Vegas headliner every single day of the week, and
we've locked it in for Sydney. This is Australia versus the
USA, four times over, and every single one of those fights
is legacy-defining. We've built No Limit Boxing by
delivering the best events on the biggest stages, and on
July 26 we deliver the biggest stage this country has ever
seen. The world is sending its biggest names to Tim Tszyu's
backyard, to Koen Mazoudier's backyard, to Callum Peters'
backyard — and they're about to find out exactly what that
means.”
The event is promoted by No Limit Boxing and The Rose
Brothers, Man Down Promotions and TGB Promotions.
**JERMALL CHARLO VS. KOEN MAZOUDIER**
A former world champion at 154 and 160 pounds, Jermall
Charlo will make his second consecutive appearance against
super middleweight competition as he looks to move closer to
a world title opportunity against the upset-minded Koen
Mazoudier, who enters this 10-round matchup on a three-bout
winning streak.
Charlo’s (34-0, 23 KOs) quest to become a three-division
world champion in the stacked 168-pound division began in
May 2025, as he returned from a lengthy layoff to stop
veteran Thomas LaManna in six rounds. A native of Houston,
Texas, Charlo first joined the ranks of world champion in
2015 with a dominant knockout of Cornelius Bundrage, and
would go on to defend the title three times, including an
emphatic stoppage of the then-undefeated Julian Williams in
December 2016. Trained throughout his career by the renowned
Ronnie Shields, Charlo would then begin a middleweight run
that saw him earn the WBC championship and add victories
over top contenders including Sergiy Derevyanchenko, Matt
Korobov, Hugo Centeno Jr. and more.
“It feels great to be back in the ring and to take my
talents Down Under to Australia,” said Charlo. “Koen
Mazoudier is going to be looking to make a name off me, but
he underestimates how hungry I am. These guys ain’t seen
nothing like this. It’s the USA vs. Australia and Jermall
Charlo is coming to take over. Lock in with me on July 25
and watch me put on a show.”
A native of Blacktown, New South Wales, Australian,
Mazoudier (15-4-1, 6 KOs) turned pro in 2018 after an
accomplished amateur career, reeling off six consecutive
victories. Of the blemishes on 30-year-old’s record, two
came by narrow majority decisions, with one of his other
losses eventually being avenged as he defeated Wade Ryan by
unanimous decision in 2022. His other loss came at the hands
of undefeated Australian star Nikita Tszyu, younger brother
of Tim Tszyu. The 2024 showdown against Tszyu was within two
points on two judges’ cards when the bout ended in round
nine. Mazoudier has bounced back effectively, winning
three-straight fights in 2025.
"I know I'm the underdog,” said Mazoudier. “Everyone knows
I'm the underdog. I don't care. I'm coming to spoil the
party and dethrone a legend. I've never taken a backward
step in my life, and I'm sure as hell not starting on 26
July. I'm going to bring everything I've got to get the
result. I’m the real life Rocky."
**STEPHEN FULTON JR. VS. LIAM WILSON**
Having faced the best in the sport while earning
pound-for-pound consideration, Stephen Fulton Jr. will look
to get back in the win column on enemy soil as he takes on
rugged and experienced Australian contender Liam Wilson in a
pivotal 12-round showdown for each fighter.
Born and raised in West Philadelphia, Pa., Fulton (23-2, 8
KOs) hopes to bounce back from a defeat to elite 130-pound
world champion O’Shaquie Foster in December. His previous
outing saw him become a two-division champion by vanquishing
his longtime rival Brandon Figueroa in their February
rematch via decision to capture the WBC Featherweight World
Championship. It was Fulton’s second fight since a July 2023
challenge that saw him travel to Japan to take on undefeated
Japanese superstar Naoya Inoue, eventually dropping the road
contest in round eight. In his previous 14 professional
fights before facing Inoue, the 31-year-old had established
himself on pound-for-pound lists by beating eight previously
undefeated fighters. Fulton first became a world champion by
taking the super bantamweight title from Angelo Leo in
January 2021, before unifying against Figueroa in their
first fight.
“I expect Liam to be on his A-game and take this fight as an
opportunity to get a shot at the title,” said Fulton. “This
fight is to show that I am nowhere near finished and to
redeem myself after my last performance. I let my fans and
peers down in my last fight, as well as myself, so this is
me coming back out strong!”
Currently riding a five-fight win streak, Wilson (18-3, 10
KOs) most recently knocked out Rodex Piala to kick off his
2026 campaign in January. The 30-year-old gained a wealth of
experience against elite competition in giving spirited
challenges to former world champion Oscar Valdez in 2024 and
multiple-division world champion Emanuel Navarrete, who he
dropped in round four of their 2023 world title clash.
Representing his native Redcliffe, Queensland, Australian,
his only other defeat was quickly avenged when he stopped
Joe Noynay in two rounds in March 2022. While his previous
championship-level fights came in the U.S., Wilson will look
to benefit from the home turf advantage against Fulton on
July 25.
"Fulton has been a champion in two divisions,” said Wilson.
“I respect that. But I'm 'Mr. Damage' — I don't do easy
nights and I don't do backward steps. On July 26, he's going
to find that out."
**CALLUM PETERS VS. TBD**
The highly-touted middleweight prospect Callum Peters will
put his undefeated record on the line again in a 10-round
attraction that follows up his first fight to go the
10-round distance in May.
After representing Australia at the 2024 Olympics, Peters
(7-0, 6 KOs) turned pro in December 2024 and put together
six consecutive knockouts, with only one opponent making it
past round two. The 23-year-old most recently dominated his
toughest opponent to date in Joeshon James, beating the then
10-1-2 contender by wide margins on all three cards. A
native of Adelaide, South Australia, Peters also owns an
April knockout over Delio Mouzinho that streamed live on
Prime Video.
