Tim Tszyu vs. Tony Harrison ticket and start time information
It seems only right that Tim Tszyu will be fighting for his first world title in his hometown of Sydney.
The 28-year-old super welterweight has become a star in recent years after cleaning up the division in Australia before turning his attention overseas.
Tszyu was due to face Jermell Charlo in Las Vegas last month to win the undisputed title, but the American suffered an injury as Tszyu turned to a new challenge.
On Sunday, March 12, the son of boxing legend Kostya Tszyu will fight Detroit’s Tony Harrison for the interim WBO super welterweight title at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena.
Tszyu’s last fight in Australia, a lopsided unanimous decision win over Takeshi Inoue, was fought in front of a raucous crowd at the Qudos Bank Arena and this bout is expected to draw significantly more interest.
