The story of this fight has written itself: Tim Tszyu (22-0, 16 KOs) will defend his WBO Interim World Super Welterweight title with over 30 stitches in his right forearm. Tszyu was bitten by a dog at a family barbeque a few weeks ago, but insists he is good to go for this weekend’s fight. Tszyu fights in orthodox stance, so the forearm injury may affect his ability to guard his chin while jabbing.
Tszyu’s challenger is Carlos Ocampo (35-2, 23 KOs). Ocampo’s two losses are to Errol Spence Jr and Sebastian Fundora — Spence knocked him out in the first round. There’s no shame in losing to those high-caliber fighters, but will Tszyu be another forgivable loss, or an unforgettable victory?
Tim Tszyu vs Carlos Ocampo is Saturday, June 17, at 11:30 p.m. ET in Broadbeach, Australia.
