Bakhram Murtazaliev and Tim Tszyu make weight for 154lbs showdown

Bakhram Murtazaliev and Tim Tszyu weighed in comfortably under the junior-middleweight limit for Saturday’s IBF title fight at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.

The 29-year-old Tszyu fights for the first time since his first defeat, via split decision to Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas in March. 

Saturday’s fight also represents Murtazaliev’s first defence of the vacant title he won in April with victory over Jack Culcay.

“This is my moment,” said Australia’s Tszyu. “This is vengeance. Simple. 

“Vengeance, and something painful [is coming Murtazaliev’s way].”

“Tomorrow we will fight,” said Murtazaliev, 31 and of Russia.
