On July 19, at the iconic MGM Grand, Tim Tszyu will get his chance at redemption in a rematch against WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora. Their first meeting was nothing short of a modern classic. Their brutal bloody war that Fundora narrowly won via split decision effected Tszyu in multiple ways. But the story wasn’t just about who got the nod. It was about the grit and heart both fighters showed in the face of adversity.
Tszyu (25-2, 18 KOs) suffered a deep cut across his hairline in the third round, forcing him to fight through a torrent of blood and blurred vision for the remainder of the bout.
