Boxing is reviving more and more on all continents. Australia’s largest fight in a few years will take place in Townsville on August 26: Tim Tszyu (15-0, 11 KOs) against Jeff Horn (20-2-1, 13 KOs). The gentlemen were to meet in April, but for obvious reasons, the duel was postponed. Now boxing fans can rejoice not only about the conduct of this fight.
Up to 16,000 people will be able to watch the confrontation at the Queensland Country Bank stadium, which in a pandemic is really optimistic information. Queensland restrictions already allow to fill fifty percent of the arenas, and the Queensland Country Bank Stadium can accommodate 32,000 spectators. Thus, simple calculations give 16,000, which is already impressive. Tszyu's confrontation against Horne is of great interest in Australia.
In his last fight, last December, 32-year-old Horn, a former WBO welterweight champion, defeated Michael Zerafa in the rematch by decision after an incredible war in the ring. The 25-year-old Tszyu, the son of the famous Kostya Tszyu, had his last fight in December, when he knocked out Jack Brubaker.
