Paulo Aokuso and Tina Rahimi headline the free streaming preliminary card before Saturday’s Amazon Prime pay-per-view in Sydney.

PBC has finalized Saturday’s streaming preliminary card for Errol Spence Jr. vs. Tim Tszyu, with Australian Olympians Paulo Aokuso and Tina Rahimi appearing before the Amazon Prime pay-per-view begins in Sydney. The two-fight prelim card also streams live on DAZN at 7 p.m. ET.

Aokuso faces fellow unbeaten light heavyweight Luis Antonio Tejeda in a scheduled 10-round contest. The 29-year-old Australian represented his country at the Tokyo Olympics before turning professional in 2022. Since then, he has collected victories over former title challenger Yuniesky Gonzalez and previously unbeaten Shukhrat Abdullaev. His most recent appearance came in April, when he stopped Kittipong Jian Hao Ho on a PBC card.

Tejeda travels outside his native Dominican Republic for the first time as a professional. The 27-year-old has won four of his last five bouts by knockout, including a fourth-round stoppage of Vikensi Mateo in February.

The opening bout features Rahimi making her professional debut in a four-round bantamweight contest against Queensland’s Sacha Ryan Dryden.

Rahimi represented Australia at the 2024 Olympic Games after becoming the first Australian Muslim woman boxer to qualify for the Olympics. She also captured a bronze medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Dryden enters the contest following a split campaign in 2025 that included a decision victory over Stasia Waimaria before a points defeat against Tywarna Campbell.

The preliminary card leads into the night’s main event, where former unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. meets former WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu in one of the year’s biggest fights.
