Tim Tszyu earns a chance to claim the super-welterweight belt after locking in an October fight with unbeaten Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev.
Tim Tszyu has locked in a fight against undefeated Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev for the super-welterweight belt. Tim Tszyu will get the chance to emulate his legendary father as a multiple world champion when he takes on undefeated Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev for the IBF super-welterweight belt in Florida next month.
But after having a succession of scheduled blockbusters fall over, mostly through no-shows from his opponents, Tszyu was concerned Murtazaliev might be the next to leave him hanging. If Tszyu can defeat Murtazaliev , he will join his former unified world champion dad Kostya as the first Australian father-son boxers to claim multiple world title belts.ABC Sport Daily is your daily sports conversation.

"Bakhram has what I want and I plan on taking it from him in spectacular fashion. It's time to become a two-time world champion.""Even before his spectacular win against Jack Culcay to earn the IBF title in Germany, Bakhram made it clear that he wanted Tim Tszyu next," Duva said.
