Expect fireworks.<\/p>\n BETTING ODDS (via TAB)<\/p>\n Tszyu is a big favourite, priced at around $1.14 to win.<\/p>\n Nurja is the clear outsider at roughly $5.50 as of Thursday.<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/p>\n FIGHTING WORDS: NAS gets fight offer from Australia\u2019s KO King<\/a><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/poster-fallback.png\"\/)
