The Aussie put on a strong display of poise, patience and power in stopping the former champion
Fighting in the shadow of both his Hall of Fame father and his division's undisputed champion, unbeaten junior middleweight Tim Tszyu used Saturday's return against Tony Harrison to send a message.
Tszyu (22-0, 16 KOs) relied on poise and deliberate pressure to slowly break down Harrison (29-4-1, 21 KOs) before punctuating the biggest win of his career with a brutal stoppage late. The 9th-round TKO, held inside Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, saw Tszyu capture the WBO interim title and secure a shot at junior middleweight king Jermell Charlo's four world titles.
After the fight, Tszyu put a resounding exclamation point on his statement by regaling his home crowd with an impassioned speech.
