On Nov. 3, 2001, Kostya Tszyu delivered what may have been the greatest performance of his Hall of Fame boxing career when he knocked out Zab Judah at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas in the second round to win the undisputed super lightweight world championship.
A little over 20 years later, the opportunity for his son, Tim, to accomplish a similar feat was stolen from him when undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo broke a hand in training. Charlo had been set to fight Tim Tszyu at Mandalay Bay's Michelob Ultra Arena, just across the street from where his father achieved his greatest boxing glory.
So they'll fight on Saturday with no belt on the line but for the right to be Charlo's mandatory and next up. "[Harrison] is a bit quicker and rangier. They have some similarities but I think Harrison has more boxing skills." "Honestly, man, for me, each fight I take it's me versus me," he said."I try to improve myself all the time and be better than what I was. It's not based upon who is in front of me. I feel like if I keep working and improving myself, I'll be able to handle whatever may come my way."
"Being around it really hasn't made much of an impact on me in terms of dealing with the media and the spotlight and all of that kind of thing," Tim Tszyu said."I think that's something that you have to experience for yourself to understand it and how to deal with it. But from a boxing perspective, being able to see the ups, the downs, the truths about boxing, it gave me a better picture of what it is.
