Australian boxer Tim Tszyu, son of former absolute world champion Konstantin Tszyu, defeated American Brian Mendoza at a boxing night in Broadbeach (Australia).
Tim Tszyu defended his World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior middleweight title for the first time and also took the title of World Boxing Council (WBC) interim champion from his opponent.
The fight lasted all 12 rounds. Tszyu won by unanimous decision. He now has 24 victories in 24 professional fights.
The WBO belt went to the 28-year-old Australian without a fight. American Jermell Charlo agreed to fight Mexican Saul Alvarez (losing by unanimous decision) and was stripped of his title at the beginning of the bout because he refused to defend his belt in a fight with Tszyu.
For the 29-year-old Mendoza, this defeat was the third of his career; he also has 22 wins (16 by knockout).
