Rising undefeated prospect Ahmad Reda will take on Australian Olympian Paul Fleming in a 10-round lightweight showdown that has been added to the Errol Spence Jr.-Tim Tszyu undercard, which will take place on Saturday, July 25, at Afterpay Arena in Sydney, Australia.
The WBA Super Featherweight Title Eliminator between former two-division world champion Stephen Fulton Jr. and Australian former title challenger Liam Wilson will now serve as the co-main event, after Jermall Charlo was removed from the card due to issues obtaining a visa.
The undefeated Charlo(34-0, 23 KOs), 36, last fought in May 2025 when he stopped Thomas LaManna.
Reda vs. Fleming will precede the co-main event and enter the ring after the opening bout between undefeated rising Australian Olympian Callum Peters and fellow unbeaten Ivan Actis.
**AHMAD REDA VS. PAUL FLEMING**
The 23-year-old Reda (8-0, 6 KOs) has shot up the rankings since turning pro in November 2023, as he began his career with stoppage victories in five of his first six outings. The Sydney-native’s first step up in competition came last August, as he won a clear unanimous decision over 35-fight veteran Bruno Tarimo to capture the Australian super lightweight title. He most recently defended that decision impressively, stopping Wayne Telepe in the sixth round in December.
A 2008 Australian Olympian, Fleming (28-1-2, 18 KOs) is a native of Tully, Queensland, Australia who now resides in Sydney. His lone defeat came in a 2023 challenge of the currently top-ranked 130-pound contender Charly Suarez. Fleming led on all three scorecards before he was stopped in the 12th and final round. Fleming most recently returned to action last November, battling Jake Wyllie to a split draw.
