Tim Tszyu to headline first US pay-per-view against Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas: Will Kostya Tszyu be there?

Tim Tszyu is set to headline his first US pay-per-view event on Saturday, March 30, as he takes on Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas. The Australian boxer, son of Hall of Fame boxer Kostya Tszyu, is aiming to unify a division just like his father did in his career.

There has been much speculation about whether Kostya Tszyu will be in attendance at his son’s upcoming fight. Initial reports suggested that Kostya would be present at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but Tim later clarified that his father would not be attending. This would have been only the second time Kostya watched Tim fight live, with the first being at Tim’s pro debut in 2016.

Despite their close relationship, Tim decided to ban his father from attending future fights after finding his presence distracting during his debut match. Tim expressed his love and respect for his father but found his constant yelling during the fight to be difficult to handle.

Kostya Tszyu is a legendary figure in the light-welterweight class, with an impressive professional record and multiple championship belts to his name. He retired in 2005 with a record of 31-2-0 and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2011.

The Tszyu boxing legacy continues with Tim’s younger brother Nikita also making a name for himself in the sport. With a perfect record of eight wins in his professional career, Nikita recently claimed the Australian super welterweight title.

Fans can catch the highly anticipated fight between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora on various platforms, including PRIME VIDEO, PPV.com, and Fox Sports/Main Event. The event is expected to draw a large audience as Tim looks to make a mark on the international boxing scene.
