Tim Tszyu will fight for a world-level light middleweight strap for the first time against four-time world title challenger Tony Harrison in what is his ...

"For Tim to take on the only fighter to beat the person he wants to go take the four belts from, the most dangerous person in the division … The fight will cost $59.95 to order. Only three of his last seven opponents have been shorter and one of those (Steve Spark) jumped up two weight divisions at late notice for a payday. Harrison, though, has been even less active than that, fighting just twice in that same time period. "He was the next-best available option.

Tszyu will have been out of the ring for almost exactly a year by the time he starts his ring walk in Sydney, and will be fighting for just the fifth time since the start of 2021.
