Tim Tszyu's Comeback

At 29, Tim Tszyu has been given the green light by medical professionals to resume full training after postponing his previously scheduled bout against Vergil Ortiz in August. This match marks his first fight since his split-decision loss to Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas in March and his first on home soil since defending his WBO world title against Brian Mendoza on the Gold Coast in October 2023.

Opponent and Fight Details

No Limit Boxing CEO George Rose announced that Tszyu has been mandated by the IBF to face American super welterweight Erickson Lubin. The deal aims to be finalised by July 30, or it will proceed to purse bids.

Statements from No Limit Boxing

“Tim Tszyu is back and coming for it all,” said George Rose. “Cleared by his medical team, he’s ready to show everyone who the real king of the super welterweight division is. His return to Australia will be a statement.”

Rose highlighted the significance of the fight being scheduled on Sunday, September 22, amid the NRL and AFL final series, dubbing it the biggest month in Australian sport.

Tim Tszyu’s Determination

“I can’t wait to get my hands on him,” Tszyu stated. “My body is perfect, my knuckles are itchy, and I’m going to make a statement back on home soil. I’m not one to sit around and wait; I’m coming back to take over. Mark my words.”

Nikita Tszyu's Return

In addition to Tim's return, No Limit Boxing confirmed the return of his younger brother, Nikita Tszyu, the current Australian champion. Nikita will defend his national title against former amateur rival Koen Mazoudier (12-3-1) on August 28. Register for presale tickets here
