Former super welterweight (up to 69.85 kg) world champion Tim Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) will fight for a championship title in his next bout. His opponent will be Russian boxer Bakhram Murtazaliev (22-0, 16 KOs), who holds the IBF belt.
The fight is scheduled for October 19 in Orlando, USA.
In his last fight, Tszyu suffered a loss on March 30, 2023, losing to Sebastian Fundora by split decision. Tszyu later had to pull out of scheduled bouts against Vergil Ortiz and Erickson Lubin due to an injury sustained in the Fundora fight.
Murtazaliev, in April 2023, knocked out Jack Culcay in the 11th round.
