Fox Sports Australia understands Charlo has been granted a visa to travel Down Under and fight on the Tszyu\u2013Erislandy Lara card.<\/a><\/p>\n The development is a significant step towards bringing the former undisputed super welterweight king to Australia, following earlier reports that he was being lined up for the event.<\/p>\n Who will stand across from him remains the next big question.<\/p>\n Several local fighters have been linked to a bout with Charlo, although his opponent is yet to be announced.<\/p>\n But Charlo\u2019s presence would give the event another massive international draw \u2013 and put Tszyu\u2019s unfinished business right back in front of him.<\/p>\n The pair were originally scheduled to throw down in January 2023 before Charlo suffered a broken hand in training.<\/p>\n Their showdown unfortunately never materialised, with the American instead moving up two divisions to challenge Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez.<\/p>\n Neither man has lost interest in settling things with their fists, though. <\/p>\n Charlo publicly pushed for the matchup in August this year, telling boxing reporter Lance Pugmire: \u201cI talked to Al [Haymon] myself and I\u2019m [fighting] Tim next.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWorking on location.\u201d<\/p>\n No Limit boss George Rose has also made clear his desire to finally bring the pair together.<\/p>\n \u201cCharlo\u2019s been the long-standing king at 154, never lost in the division,\u201d Rose said last year.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a fight which is long overdue for Tim.\u201d<\/p>\n Tszyu still wants his shot at the Texan, too.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course I\u2019m still chasing Charlo,\u201d Tszyu said in September.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s unfinished business.\u201d<\/p>\n First, though, comes a crack at Lara \u2013 the experienced Cuban southpaw standing between Tszyu and the chance to become a two-division world champ.<\/p>\n \u201cAt 160 I feel strong, I feel sharp and I feel dangerous,\u201d Tszyu said.<\/p>\n \u201cMiddleweight is my division now. [Errol] Spence was just the appetiser.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE BOXING<\/p>\n \u2018Left him over money\u2019: Paul Gallen slams \u2018f***ing idiot\u2019 rival\u2019s trainer walkout claim<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Jermell](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/2505ae6b9cf4927a127b3c097c450350.jpeg\")
