Tim Tszyu Talks Training With His Father

Australian middleweight Tim Tszyu arrived in Las Vegas as he prepares to take on unbeaten IBF super welterweight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev. Tszyu, the former 154-pound world champion held most of his camp in Thailand where he was joined by his father, Hall of Famer and former world champion Kostya Tszyu.

“It was a good bonding experience,” Tim Tszyu said. “Straight after my last fight I asked him to get some work in, and I didn’t think he’d actually say yes, but he did. We reconnected and it was a good experience that was years in the making. It was good to connect as father and son, and as a fighter.
