Boxing: Nikita Tszyu reveals why this fight with Dylan Biggs means so much to him.
Tszyu fuelled by Biggs sparring session | 01:30Nikita Tszyu has finally come clean on whispers suggesting he was knocked cold during a sparring session against Australia’s youngest national champion Dylan Biggs – admitting the moment has fuelled all two years of his unbeaten professional career.
Without prompting, the youngster confirmed that not only had he sparred Briggs shortly before his professional debut, but he had been “dropped” by a punch in round five -- however quickly added “it didn’t hurt, more caught me off balance”. “At the start of my career, I had health issues, was battling with my feet, I’d had eight years off and was dumped back in the deep end.“And I’ve actually thanked him for that sparring session because I learned so much about myself and so much about the sport I love.“You have to be prepared.”“I’m a perfectionist.“And because I knew this fight would eventually happen I’ve always kept that sparring session in the back of my head.
