Tim Tziu’s path to redeem? Eddie Hearn recommends resetting his career and reconstruction from “several fights”
Published

The chairman of the Matchroom’s boxing promotion Eddie Hearn says that the last defeats of Tim the thesis with Sebastian Fund and Bakhram Murtazaliev proved that he is now a “elite level” of the younger medium weight.
Career reset is required
Hearn states that the former WBO 154-LB champion, Tsyzyu (25-3, 18 KO), must invest in a career reset, rebuilding with the “pair of fights” to start winning again. Eddie does not say who 30-year-old Tsyzu should fight that he will return the form of vintage.
“I really like Tim Tziu. I think it’s really entertaining. It has been proven that he is not good enough to fight and win at the elite level,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor Jai mcallister, boxing YouTube channel, reacting to the last three failures for the former WBO Master Junior Medium weight Tima.
Defeating Tsyzyu against the Fundor X 2 and Bakhram Murtazaliev showed it He is not a warrior of the “elite level” at 154 He believes that Tsyzyu is in the talent packaging, below Ennis, Crawford, Fundor and Murtazaliev. Hearn did not mention any other fighters that he thinks are above Tychu.
Below the highest level
“I think the last defeat [for Tszyu] It was really crushed because in the first fight [against Sebastian Fundora]He did really well. Then stop [Bakhram] Murtazaliev, and then the arrival and detention by the fund, it was a great blow. Fans put you very quickly at the back of the queue. We are not sure if he is a world-class elite, said Hearn.
Tsyzu seemed exceeded from the first round against the funds and was overwhelmed by the volume from the WBC champion 154-lb. Inside TIM, he hit the upper and tiny hooks from the fund many times. He did not show head movement to avoid blows.
Rematch error
“Returning straight to the fund, a stylistic nightmare, was a mistake. He did not show any modern tools to cope with height or volume. It was like watching the first fight again,” said Chris Mannix, a writer, reacting to the loss of Tych to the fund.
“He is [Tszyu] He must now make an investment to come back. It’s for me Have a few fights to return to the winning groove. I don’t know about his training, but he had many hard fights, and these fights are reflected, “said Hearn.
Tsyzyu has already undertaken the reconstruction of the fight against the low positive pretender to the 154-Funts, Joey Spencer, at the beginning of this year on April 6, and knocked him out in four rounds in Newcastle.
In this fight, 30-year-old Tim looked like the same talent that was before defeat with the fund and Murtazaliev.
“Tim is a tough kid, but You can say that he wore PTSD some from these losses. He fought as if he wanted to prove something, but he didn’t fight wise, “said WBA MDBA MIDDLE WWWEIGHT, Terenka Crawford to ESPN Ringside’s commentary, discussing the psychological state of Tsyzyu during the fund’s rematch.” Against a guy like a fund, you need movement and plan B. He had no one, “said Crawford.
When Tsyzu fought the fund in a rematch three months later on July 19, he was detained in seven rounds by the Las Vegas fund. Tim looked worse than in the first fight with Sebastian on March 30, 2024.

Fury vs Joshua Tickets Now Available for Highly Anticipated British Heavyweight Clash
Published

July 28, 2026
World Boxing News has found tickets for Tyson Fury’s long-awaited showdown with Anthony Joshua already being offered online despite no official confirmation that Britain’s biggest heavyweight fight has been signed.
Multiple ticket websites are advertising seats for the proposed contest, one complete with seating plans, pricing and availability, despite no official announcement from either fighter or their promoters.
The listingsfor a November 21 clash at Wembley Stadium have fuelled speculation that Fury and Joshua are finally on course to meet after both returned to winning ways this month.
Fury stopped Mariusz Wach in Thailand before Joshua recovered from two first-round knockdowns to halt Kristian Prenga in Saudi Arabia.
Ticket Listings Raise Questions
One ticket marketplace is already claiming to be selling secondary seats, while another company is taking registrations despite acknowledging that key details are still to be confirmed.
The sale has naturally sparked excitement among fans desperate to see Britain’s biggest heavyweight rivalry finally settled after years of failed negotiations, retirement announcements and missed opportunities.
However, none of the major parties involved in the negotiations have officially confirmed the contest.

Still Plenty to Be Decided
How tickets can be on sale for a fight that isn’t even confirmed is anyone’s guess. While some websites are already advertising Fury vs. Joshua seats, there’s no guarantee any of the details prove accurate until the fight is officially announced.
The proposed staging also raises questions for one obvious reason: the British weather. Holding the biggest fight in UK boxing outdoors at that time of year would be a significant gamble given how unpredictable conditions can be.
Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn proved a major late-autumn event can work when they fought at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last year. However, Fury vs. Joshua is on another level commercially, and risking Britain’s biggest heavyweight showdown in freezing temperatures or heavy rain would be a bold call.
If the fight does happen on British soil during that period, the safest option would surely be a stadium with a roof. That immediately brings Cardiff’s Principality Stadium into the conversation, offering organisers protection from the elements without taking the event away from British fans.
Even then, there remains a strong belief that the powers behind the event would still prefer the United States.
For now, the appearance of tickets is simply the latest twist in a rivalry that has frustrated British boxing fans for years.
Until Fury, Joshua and the promoters officially announce the fight, supporters should treat any ticket listings as speculative, no matter how convincing they appear.

Heavyweight Shocks Again: Tyson Fury Left Bloodied and Knocked Out Cold

Otto Wallin, the heavyweight who left Tyson Fury covered in blood and was later stopped by Anthony Joshua, suffered another crushing setback when Vladyslav Sirenko knocked him out cold in the final round of their Zuffa Boxing clash in New York.
Wallin was trailing on all three scorecards before Sirenko landed a devastating right hand followed by a left hook in the closing seconds of the tenth and final round.
The Swedish southpaw crashed to the canvas and remained down long enough for a stretcher to be brought into the ring, although he later sat up and responded to medical staff.
From Tyson Fury Scare To Another Knockout
Wallin’s career has become one of the heavyweight division’s biggest “what if” stories.
In 2019, he came within touching distance of ending Tyson Fury’s unbeaten record after opening a horrific cut above the Briton’s right eye that required 47 stitches. Many believed the contest could have been stopped before Fury battled through to win on points.
Speaking exclusively to World Boxing News three years later, Wallin insisted the fight would have been waved off had the roles been reversed.
“I think the cuts that he had were very bad. He had 47 stitches after the fight. If I had those cuts, the doctors would have stopped the fight, for sure,” Wallin told WBN.
Despite that disappointment, Wallin rebuilt his career by defeating current WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev before earning high-profile clashes with Joshua and Derek Chisora.
His defeat to Joshua ended in a fifth-round stoppage. This latest loss to Sirenko marks the second knockout defeat of Wallin’s career and leaves the 35-year-old facing the toughest questions yet over his future.

Vladyslav Sirenko Scores Career-Best Win
For Sirenko, the victory represented the biggest win of his professional career.
The Ukrainian improved to 23-1 with 20 knockouts by stopping one of the heavyweight division’s most respected contenders after bouncing back from last year’s defeat to Solomon Dacres.
Wallin once looked destined for another world title opportunity after pushing Fury to the brink and defeating future WBA heavyweight champion Murat Gassiev.
Two knockout defeats later, that dream looks further away than ever.

Terence Crawford Declares One Current Fighter Unbeatable: He Will Take Over

Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.
‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.
The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.
Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.
“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”
Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.
The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.
