Bakhram Murtazaliev proves he’s world class, stopping Tim Tszyu in three to retain IBF junior middle title
Bakhram Murtazaliev wanted the boxing world to find out who he is. They did. The 31-year-old IBF junior middleweight titlist was making his first defense and in his mind was being overlooked.
The 29-year-old challenger Tim Tszyu was supposed to be the A-side.
Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 knockouts) changed that. He dropped Tszyu four times, before Tszyu’s corner wisely threw in the towel and ended the fight at 1:55 of the third on Saturday night on a PBC event on Prime Video at the Caribe Royale Resort, in Orlando, Florida.
