Boxing: Tim and Nikita Tszyu have announced the dates for their much anticipated next fights.
Tim Tszyu set for title eliminator | 13:28 Australia ’s Tim Tszyu has declared himself ready to become a two-time world champion – and punch his way into a string of “superfights” -- after sensationally landing a blockbuster title bout against IBF champ Bakhram Murtazaliev.can reveal promoters No Limit have secured Tszyu a shock world title fight against Russia ’s undefeated Murtazaliev only five months after being stripped of his own WBO super welterweight crown.
Yet in sensational circumstances, that event has now been scrapped as IBF officials instead agreed overnight for Tszyu to be elevated into a headliner against Murtazaliev . Speaking with Fox Sports Australia from Las Vegas, where he had already gone into camp for the IBF eliminator, the Australian superstar said he was “pumped” by the updated plans and warned Murtazaliev “has never faced anyone like me”.
Back in March, the champ was upset by towering American southpaw Sebastian Fundora in a Las Vegas headliner that saw Tszyu suffer a serious head cut in round two, fight “completely blinded” by claret for 30 minutes and eventually lose via split decision.
