Undefeated Tim Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) of Australia faces former world champion Tony Harrison (29-3-1, 21 KOs) of the US at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, NSW on Sunday, March 12.

Previously announced Tim Tszyu’s younger brother, Nikita Tszyu (4-0, 3 KOs) faces his fellow-Australian Bo Belbin (7-0, 5 KOs). The pair battles it out in a six-rounder at super welterweight. Tszyu won his previous bout last October via third-round RTD against Darkon Dryden. Belbin was in action last November when he defeated Jayden Riddle by majority decision.
Also on the card, Paulo Aokuso (3-0, 3 KOs) of Australia and Yunieski Gonzalez (21-5, 17 KOs) of Cuba meet in a ten-rounder for the vacant IBO Intercontinental light heavyweight belt. Aokuso won his previous bout last November by TKO in the second round against David Zegarra. Gonzalez is coming off a pair of defeats via tenth-round TKO against Andre Dirrell in November 2022 and Gilberto Ramirez late 2021.
Plus, Sam Goodman (13-0, 7 KOs) of Australia defends his WBO ‘Oriental’ super bantamweight title in a ten-rounder against TJ Doheny (23-3, 17 KOs) of Ireland. Goodman defeated Jason Cooper by unanimous decision in October 2022 and made the third successful defense of his strap.
