Tim Tszyu: record, next fight and profile →



It makes a lot of sense for Terence Crawford to move up to 154 pounds to challenge WBA champion Israil Madrimov.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. made quick work of Thomas Dulorme on Saturday in Fresno, California, quickly turning attention to his scheduled Aug. 3 clash in Los Angeles with former junior middleweight titlist Tim Tszyu.

There was a time that Vergil Ortiz Jr. was going to be next. Those days feel like they weren’t too long ago – and also feel like forever ago. On Saturday, Ortiz's chance to be next, again, is at hand.

The World Boxing Association has confirmed that Terence Crawford (40-0, 30 KOs) will be allowed to retain his WBA welterweight title ahead of his pursuit of the organization’s junior middleweight crown in a matchup with Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) on Aug. 3 at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.


According to ESPN, a clash between super-welterweights Vergil Ortiz (20-0, 20 KOs) and Tim Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) is reportedly planned for August 3 in Los Angeles, California.

Nearly 17 months out of the ring is no way for an unbeaten 26-year-old boxer to move, so Charles Conwell said he was refreshed to be “back in my element” in cruising to a sixth-round stoppage of Nathaniel Gallimore Saturday night on the Ryan Garcia-Devin Haney undercard. Even better for junior middleweight Conwell was the postfight pledge from Golden Boy Promotions to get him back in the ring by August.

As he watched the bloodbath that was Sebastian Fundora's win over Tim Tszyu on March 30, veteran broadcaster Jim Lampley knew all too well that the ringside commentary team would be leaving T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with the two boxers’ bodily fluids splattered across their clothing. And his mind cast back to the first fight he ever called in his legendary career.
