Tonight’s event, the Tszyu vs. Murtazaliev, starts at 8:00 pm ET on Prime Video.
It is former WBO 154-lb champion Tszyu’s first fight since losing his title to Sebastian Fundora last March. We’ll see how well Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) can mentally recover from that loss against undefeated big puncher Murtazaliev (22-0, 16 KOs). Tim hopes to become a two-time world champion in this fight.
Live results and updates from tonight’s event will be shown below.

Murtazaliev is facing his first top-level fighter in his 10-year professional career, and it’s unclear how he will react. It was a huge success for him to go from facing an unknown opponent to facing former WBO champion Tszyu. Is it too much of a step for Murtazaliev?
If 31-year-old Grozny, Russian native Murtazaliev talks about big shots and Tszyu’s talent, he has a chance to take his career to the top in a big way. For the likes of Tszyu, a win over Murtazaliev will catapult his career.
