Strap in fight fans, Australia’s top ranked boxer is about to step into the ring once again as another challenger looks to take on his perfect 17-0 record.
Tim Tsyzu will fight Brisbane-based Irishman and former two-time world title challenger Dennis 'Hurricane' Hogan tonight (Wednesday, March 31) at Newcastle’s Entertainment Centre.
Son of boxing legend Kostya, Tsyzu will be competing with Hogan to edge closer to a world title shot, as the winner earns the right to take on the WBO's current super welterweight champion, Brian Castano.
Tsyzu is coming off the back of a spectacular first round knockout win over Bowyn Morgan in December. The 26-year-old is now ranked inside the top 10 with all major sanctioning bodies.
Hogan on the other hand represents a big challenge for Tszyu having fought a vast majority of his career at super welterweight, but most recently stepping up to take on WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo in December 2019. He enters the ring tonight with a record of 28-3-1.
