Tszyu-Harrison March 12 in Australia for the "interim" WBO belt

Tim Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) will face Tony Harrison (29-3-1, 21 KOs) for the "interim" WBO welterweight belt on March 12 in Australia. Tszyu was previously scheduled to face undisputed champion in this weight class Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs) on January 28 in Las Vegas, but Charlo was forced to postpone his title defense for at least two months after he suffered a fracture left scaphoid and a fracture of the base of the fifth metacarpal, according to a medical diagnosis of December 23.

News of the postponement was announced ahead of the new year when Tszyu decided to fight another fight to stay active ahead of his first career title fight.
