Knockout of the year?
This may well set the tone for the evening.
In the very first fight, Mark Schliebs produced an absolute bomb of a punch to finish off Shamal Ram Anuj. No words can do this justice, so just check out this clip …
Let the boxing do the talking
There’s been the usual back and forth between the combatants ahead of this one. The Tszyu camp has accused Biggs of not promoting the fight and there has been talk of docking his pay, although I can’t see that happening. Then there’s a stoush about who should enter the ring second; should it be Tszyu as the A-side of the fight or Biggs as the Australian champion?
I’m more interested in what each fighter is going to bring into the ring, not who will enter it first. Biggs has got more experience with 10 fights, zero losses and seven knockouts, as opposed to Tszyu’s seven wins, zero losses, six knockouts.
Tszyu has been a pronounced favourite in all of his fights and that’s again the case tonight ; the bookies have installed him at $1.40 chance, while Biggs is $3.20.
I’m yet to witness a loss for the brothers Tszyu, but this is a significant step up in class for Nikita.
Howdy partners!
Good evening and welcome to a night of fistic fury!
It’s another Tszyu fight night and this time it’s Nikita’s turn to headline. Tszyu will be taking on Dylan Biggs and one of them is about to taste the first defeat for the first time as a professional.

Biggs will put his Australian super-welterweight title on the line in a 10-round bout, part of a stacked card in Newcastle.
We’ll bring you a blow-by-blow account of all the action, so settle in and enjoy the night!
