One thing that he has been reaching out about is the fact he wanted to fight him for three-minute rounds.<\/p>\n \u201cHe thinks he\u2019s got a bigger gas tank than Nelson. He thinks he showed that on the football field and he thinks in three-minute rounds he can get the job done.\u201d<\/p>\n Wallace told Fox Sports Australia<\/a> earlier in the year<\/a> that Nelson is \u201cbeatable\u201d.<\/p>\n Pushed on why he should be granted a rematch, Wallace said: \u201cRight now, there is nobody else who wants to fight the bloke.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I have no idea why.<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, he\u2019s a big man. A strong boxer.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Nelson really is beatable.\u201d<\/p>\n What about that right hand?<\/p>\n \u201cHonestly, his power doesn\u2019t worry me,\u201d the 34-year-old continued.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been hit by him before.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd take nothing away, he\u2019s a big strong fighter who got me with an uppercut that first time we fought.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I also got up.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve got a strong jaw.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I just know that if given a second go at him, it will be a lot different to our first fight.\u201d<\/p>\n Also on the bill is one of Australia\u2019s very best boxers, with Super Bantamweight Sam Goodman set to face Rodrigo Ruiz in a world title eliminator.<\/p>\n For Goodman, the stakes couldn\u2019t be higher. Victory over Ruiz would push the local hero to the brink of a world title shot later this year.<\/p>\n Goodman went very close to shocking the world in 2025 in his fight with former WBA featherweight champ Nick Ball in Saudi Arabia, but eventually went down on points.<\/p>\n The event will also showcase several rising Australian talents, including Olympian Callum Peters and light heavyweight star Paulo Aokuso, rounding out what will be an exciting night.<\/p>\n Tszyu told Fox Sports Australia last week that he can\u2019t wait to get back in the ring. <\/p>\n Tszyu says he\u2019s been eager for this fight to happen sooner.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been sometime in the making,\u201d Tszyu grinned.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve been bugging the boys about the date and who I\u2019m fighting. But finally, I\u2019m glad they got it all done and I\u2019m blessed to be in this position. I feel better than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked about Nurja, Tszyu made it clear he\u2019s not taking his opponent lightly.<\/p>\n \u201cHe presents a challenge,\u201d said Tszyu.<\/p>\n Why is Tim Tszyu taking this fight?! | 02:00<\/p>\n \u201cBig amateur pedigree. Eight national titles. He\u2019s fought at the world championships \u2013 IBA level.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s been in there and mixed it with a lot of great fighters, so I\u2019m motivated, inspired and focused.\u201d<\/p>\n MAIN CARD<\/p>\n Tim Tszyu (26-3, 18 KOs) vs Denis Nurja (20-0, 9 KOs) for the WBO International Middleweight Title \u2013 157lb Catchweight<\/p>\n Sam Goodman (21-1, 8 KOs) vs Rodrigo Ruiz (23-1, 17 KOs) for the IBF Super Bantamweight World Title Eliminator<\/p>\n Nelson Asofa-Solomona (1-0, 1 KO) vs Jarrod Wallace (Professional Debut) at Heavyweight<\/p>\n Callum Peters (5-0, 5 KOs) vs Delio Anzaqeci Mouzinho (4-0, 4 KOs) at Middleweight<\/p>\n Ahmad Reda (8-0, 6 KOs) vs Jomar Paliwen (7-2-2, 5 KOs) at Lightweight<\/p>\n Charlie Kazzi (9-0, 4 KOs) vs Blair Geraghty (5-0, 5 KOs) at Super Lightweight<\/p>\n Max Reeves (12-1-1, 8 KOs) vs Francis Waitai (13-3-1, 1 KO) at Super Middleweight for the WBO Oriental Super Middleweight Title<\/p>\n Paulo Aokuso (9-0, 4 KOs) vs Kittipong Jian Hao Ho (13-1-1, 12 KOs) for the IBF Pan Pacific Light Heavyweight Title<\/p>\n Dharringarra Trewhella (7-0, 4 KOs) vs Dominic Bailey (4-1, 2 KOs)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The full fight card for Tim Tszyu\u2019s next blockbuster has dropped \u2013 and it\u2019s loaded with Aussie talent.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":["post-530106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
