Carlos Ocampo has magically appeared in the WBO rankings just in time to fight for an interim title. Approval was granted for Mexico’s Ocampo to challenge for Tim Tszyu’s interim WBO junior middleweight title, per a resolution reached by the sanctioning body on Tuesday. The order came exactly one week after Tszyu’s team confirmed

Showtime Sports will formally announce on tonight’s tripleheader telecast that Tim Tszyu, the undefeated top-ranked junior middleweight, will return to the ring to defend his WBO Interim-super welterweight title against Carlos Ocampo in the main event of a Showtime International Boxing doubleheader, being televised on Saturday, June 17 (Sunday, June 18 in Australia).

Junior middleweight contender Tim Tszyu has accused undisputed world champion Jermell Charlo of intentionally delaying their fight while boozing under the bright lights of Las Vegas. Tszyu, the mandatory challenger under the WBO, was scheduled to face Charlo back in March.

Junior middleweight Tim Tszyu has made good on his promise to stay busy. As BoxingScene.com previously reported, Tszyu will make a defense of the interim-WBO junior middleweight title against Carlos Ocampo on June 18 in Queensland, Australia.

Tim Tszyu will remain active as he awaits his first career title shot. No Limit Boxing confirmed that Australia’s Tszyu will take a second interim fight, as he is set to face Mexico’s Carlos Ocampo. Their scheduled twelve-round junior middleweight bout will take place on June 18—a Sunday—atop a No Limit Pay-Per-View event from Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in the Gold Coast suburb of Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia.

Top-rated junior middleweight contender Tim Tszyu gave his take on Saturday's lightweight showdown between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The rivalry continues between Australian rivals Tim Tszyu and Michael Zerafa. According to a report by News Corp, Tszyu's promoter, Matt Rose of No Limit Boxing, accused Zerafa of rejecting a potential fight in the coming months.

According to top junior middleweight Tim Tszyu, there is a further delay to his mandatory fight with undisputed world champion Jermell Charlo. Tszyu saw action last month, when he picked up a ninth round knockout of former world champion Tony Harrison.

Tony Harrison was eager to run things back with Jermell Charlo. But with the Detroit native coming off a split-decision draw against Bryant Perrella, he was forced to head to the back of the line. Although he would eventually bounce back from his lackluster showing, scoring a lopsided victory vs. Sergio Garcia, Tim Tszyu had first dibs on Charlo’s undisputed throne.
