PBC FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS: Tszyu vs Nurja | April 4, 2026

Australian superstar and former world champion Tim Tszyu earned a second consecutive dominant unanimous decision victory as he overwhelmed the previously unbeaten Denis Nurja. “He’s tough and I expected that,” said Tszyu (27-3, 18 KOs). “He came in with the perfect record, so I knew he was no joke. I had him a couple times but he didn’t drop. Those were some good rounds. I was trying to take him out, he’s just tough. Big respect.” In his second fight with trainer Pedro Diaz, Tszyu continued his rise back to world title contention at 154 pounds with a strong overall performance that saw him dominate early and often. Tszyu faced some adversity early in round four when a headbutt caused a cut under his left eye, but he quickly bounced back just a minute later when he caught Nurja (20-1, 9 KOs) with a left hook that put Nurja on the mat. Nurja was able to rise to his feet, but continued to take punishment, including an overhand right in round six that wobbled the Albanian. In round seven, a desperate Nurja was deducted a point for excessive holding. Tszyu continued to pour the offense on across the last three rounds, wobbling Nurja in the final ten seconds. After 10 rounds, Tszyu won the shutout decision with the score of 100-88 in the eyes of all three judges before turning his attention to future action in the ring. “I feel like I’m up for Errol Spence Jr,” said Tszyu. “I think that would be one hell of a fight. That’s a banger. I don’t take a backward step. If he’s ready to meet me there, bring it on. I’m coming to catch the big fish. Let’s go fishing.” #TimTszyu #TszyuNurja #DenisNurja Visit PremierBoxingChampions.com for more info. SIGN UP FOR FIGHT ALERTS: FOLLOW US:
