Tim Tszyu continued to rebuild his position in the super welterweight division by defeating previously undefeated Denis Nurja over ten rounds on Saturday night in Wollongong.
Fighting in front of a home crowd at the Wollongong Entertainment Center in Modern South Wales, the former world champion set the pace throughout the match and scored a knockout, securing a unanimous decision victory.

Nurja entered the fight undefeated and tried to apply early pressure, but Tszyu quickly took control with steady combinations and body work that forced the Albanian back.
A clash of heads in round four caused a cut under Tszyu’s left eye, briefly disrupting the momentum of the fight.
Tszyu responded moments later with a ponderous left hook that knocked Nurja to the canvas.
Nurja defeated the count, but spent most of the remaining rounds trying to deal with Tszyu’s persistent attack.
A right hand in the sixth round visibly shook the challenger, and frustration ensued in the seventh when the referee informed the judges to deduct one point from Nurja for holding repeatedly.
Tszyu continued to push forward in the closing stages and Nurja lost his balance again in the final seconds of the tenth round before the challenger managed to go the distance.
Following the win, Tszyu turned his attention to potential future opponents at 154 pounds.
“I feel like I’m ready for Errol Spence Jr,” Tszyu said. “I think it would be a hell of a fight. It’s the bomb.”
“I’m not taking a step back. If he’s ready to meet me, then go ahead. I’m going gigantic fishing. Let’s go fishing.”

Oscar Collazo remained undefeated and won the WBO International flyweight title on Saturday night with a devastating two-round victory over Neider Valdez.
The unified WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine minimumweight champion improved to 15-0 with 12 knockouts after defeating Valdez three times before Mexico’s corner stopped the fight at 2:35 of the second round.
Making his final appearance at 112 pounds, Collazo showed his strength immediately transferred to the upper division, defeating Valdez from the opening bell at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California.
The Puerto Rican striker repeatedly found a home for his left hand and left no doubt about the outcome before the fight was called off.
“I felt great at 112 pounds. I love this division. In fact, I want to stay here for a long time,” Collazo said.
Knockdowns
Collazo admitted that he had already called for the fight to be stopped.
“After the third knockdown I was basically saying, ‘Never again, never again’. It was the right decision for his safety. His corner was well checked.
The victory added another belt to Collazo’s collection and enhanced his growing reputation as one of boxing’s most invigorating champions in the lower weight division.
Looking ahead, Collazo has made it clear who he wants next.
“The fight with Ricardo Sandoval definitely interests me. I really want that fight. I’m ready for gigantic fights. I’m ready to make history. That’s the fight I want next.”
Sandoval currently holds the WBA flyweight title, making this one of the most attractive fights available if Collazo continues his climb in weight.
The event was broadcast live on DAZN and was promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in partnership with Miguel Cotto Promotions.
