Boxing: Tim Tszyu and Bakhram Murtazaliev make their official weigh in ahead of their IBF world title bout.
America n boxing great Shawn Porter has urged Tim Tszyu against chasing the division’s biggest name after becoming IBF champ — convinced the Australian beats every super welterweight but Terence Crawford .
Others predicting a Tszyu victory to Fox Sports Australia at Friday’s weigh-ins included Porter, Antonio Tarver and Caleb Plant. “And while I say respectfully that I don’t think he can beat Terence Crawford, Tim can beat everyone else at super welterweight.”“He looked good in the skin, man,” said the American great boasting multiple title triumphs, including a win over Australian favourite Danny Green.“He’s in there with a tough guy defending his title, but Tim is in the top echelon of this division and that’s what he is going to show on fight night.”“He didn’t rely or depend on his famous father.
Speaking with Fox Sports Australia this week, Zerafa also tipped Tszyu to score a tough, decision victory over the undefeated Russian at Orlando’s Caribe Royale Resort.
