Boxing: Some of Australia's best athletes including Nick Daicos, Usman Khawaja, Latrell Mitchell and Alexander Volkanovski come together to preview the blockbuster fight between Tim Tszyu and Bakhram Murtazaliev.
'This is history' - Tszyu v Murtazaliev | 01:56Kostya Tszyu is readying to reunite with both his fighting sons for the first time in 11 years - with plans underway to have the Australian boxing legend ringside for Tim’s IBF super welterweight blockbuster on Sunday, October 20.
Residing in Russia for the past 12 years, Tszyu snr will finally fulfill one of boxing’s great stories when he jets into the US to see his eldest son challenge for gold against Murtazaliev. Yet after having reunited with Tim for a training camp in Thailand earlier this year, he is now set to arrive in Orlando, Florida two days before the fight -- and around the same time as Nikita also arrives after having successfully undergone surgery on his left hand.
However Nikita has revealed the trio are finally set to be reunited next week for what will be a huge few days for Australia’s No.1 fighting family. The fighter added that he missed having his brother, who was bunkered down in his Las Vegas camp, when he threw down in August against a gutsy Koen Mazoudier inside Sydney’s ICC Theatre.“The doctors are saying I should wait two weeks,” he said. “But I’m flying out a week after … I’m not missing Tim’s fight.“And when he wasn’t at my last fight, I didn’t like it.
