More than a son of a gun, Tim Tszyu is a world champion in his own right after knocking out flashy American Tony Harrison in their super-welterweight showdown in Sydney.
Tszyu dropped Harrison in the ninth round with a series of savage blows to the head and body to claim the interim WBO belt and emulate his legendary father Kostya in winning a world boxing title.
‘I just beat the man who beat the man. What does that make me?’ Tszyu said in the ring.
‘The message was sent clearly. You know what’s up. You know what’s next. I’m coming.’
Seemingly just ahead on points, Tszyu exploded to life to pummel Harrison and leave the referee with no alternative but to stop the fight at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday.
