An insatiable Tim Tszyu craves more after continuing his relentless pursuit of world-title glory with a brutal win over Dennis Hogan in their Steel City Showdown in Newcastle.
Hogan’s camp threw in the towel midway through the fifth round on Wednesday after the Irishman could no longer withstand an onslaught of head and body blows from Tszyu. The victory extended the 26-year-old’s undefeated record to 18 wins as he eyes a shot at the super welterweight world title.
