In the build-up to his fight with Bakhram Murtazaliev, Tim Tszyu spoke about his return from that first defeat, the wider picture of his career, and the presence of his celebrated father Kostya at one of his fights for the first time since 2016.

When former 154-pound titleholder Tim Tszyu looks back on the lone defeat of his pro career in March, when he dropped a split decision to Sebastian Fundora in their pay-per-view unification clash, an unmistakable spark of excitement begins to twinkle in his eye.

Australian boxer Tim Tszyu will battle Bakhram Murtazaliev for the IBF super-welterweight title in a 12-round bout that will air on Prime Video this Saturday night. The fight is free for Prime subscribers.

There’s an assumption that Sebastian Fundora is fixated on the idea that he’ll fight former three-belt welterweight champion Errol Spence Jnr next, but that’s not true.

The last time we saw Tim Tszyu in the ring, he was a bloody mess. Now, he'll face Bakhram Murtazaliev for a chance to win another world title.

Bakhram Murtazaliev (22-0, 16 KOs) and Tim Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) soon clash for super welterweight gold. The two men headline a Premier Boxing Champions card at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL.
