LIVE: Tszyu arrives after bold world title claim; arch-rival’s telling move for Aussie showdown
Tim Tszyu faces Anthony Velazquez on Wednesday, December 17, live from ICC Sydney Theatre in Sydney, Australia. They clash in a scheduled 10-round bout at super welterweight.
Tim Tszyu’s longtime archrival Michael Zerafa has jetted into Sydney to be ringside for his hyped Australian comeback – with suggestions the fighter dubbed ‘Pretty Boy’ could be set for another fiery showdown with the nation’s most famous fighting family.

The revelation comes as Tszyu readies for what he insists will be push back to the top of world boxing – and a second world title – against names including US superstars Vergil Ortiz Jnr and Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
Sydney native Tszyu (25-3, 18 KOs) steps through the ropes in front of his hometown crowd and looks to bounce back from a stoppage loss to Sebastian Fundora in July. Velazquez (18-0-1, 15 KOs) of Springfield, Massachusetts, makes his international debut and targets his fourth win of the year.
