Boxing: Nikita Tszyu will look to defend his Australian super welterweight title when he faces Creati at the Hordern Pavilion on April 24.
Tim Tszyu’s bravery could ultimately have cost him in the worst way possible as the Australian superstar faces the worrying prospect of being sidelined for a significant period of time.
The fact Tszyu managed to convince one judge he won the fight despite being so impaired for the vast majority of the fight has now left rival promoters running in the opposite direction. That’s not forgetting the financial implications too, as US broadcasters and promoters stand to lose millions should one of their biggest drawcards lose to Tszyu, who’s international status also goes against him.
It is the worst possible scenario for Tszyu, a fighter who has bucked the bug of inactivity that Spence Jr, Crawford and Garcia have all caught.
