The pair of top junior middleweights clash in Australia for an interim title
When his first title fight opposite Jermell Charlo fell apart in January because the undisputed 154-pound champion pulled out with an injury, unbeaten Tim Tszyu made the difficult decision to move on with his career rather than beholden to anyone else's timeline.
"Look, I wasn't going to wait up on 'Mell, and his life and what he is going to be doing in his career or what honeymoons he wants to take," Tszyu told "Morning Kombat" this week. "I'm here to just do me."
Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs), the Australian-born son of Hall of Fame boxer Kostya Tszyu, will instead return Saturday (Showtime, 10:45 p.m. ET) on home soil in Sydney to face the only man to defeat Charlo as a professional in former WBC junior middleweight champion Tony Harrison (29-3-1, 21 KOs).
