In anticipation of their middleweight main event, Tim Tszyu and Denis Nurja successfully made weight during Friday’s weigh-in at the WIN Entertainment Centre in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. The stage is set for a thrilling encounter this Easter Sunday, as Tszyu aims to continue his impressive boxing resurgence against the unbeaten Albanian wildcard, Nurja.
The highly-anticipated bout is scheduled for Sunday, April 5th, with the first bell ringing at 11 am AEST. This won’t be Tszyu’s first Easter Sunday fight, as he previously engaged in a bloody battle with Sebastian Fundora in 2024 on the same holiday. This time around, Tszyu is looking to secure a victory that could potentially lead to a mega-fight with superstar Errol Spence.
When questioned about the speculation surrounding Tszyu’s potential fight with Errol Spence, Nurja remained unfazed and focused on the task at hand. Despite the buzz around Tszyu’s future prospects, Nurja is determined to prove his mettle in the ring and spoil Tszyu’s plans.
The Tszyu vs. Nurja fight is just one of several exciting matchups taking place this weekend. Other notable bouts include Nelson Asofa-Solomona vs. Jarrod Wallace in a heavyweight clash, Lauren Price defending her IBF, WBA, and WBC welterweight titles against Stephanie Aquino, and Denzel Bentley vs. Endry Saavedra for the vacant WBO interim middleweight title.
Boxing fans can also look forward to a series of other compelling fights, such as Kane Shepherd vs. Teo Alin in a junior lightweight contest, Lewys Parfitt vs. Morgan McIntosh in a welterweight showdown, and Deontay Wilder vs. Derek Chisora in a heavyweight battle. Additionally, Sam Goodman will face Rodrigo Ruiz in a junior featherweight bout, and Max Reeves will take on Francis Waitai in a super middleweight clash.
With an action-packed lineup of fights scheduled for this weekend, boxing enthusiasts are in for a treat. As Tszyu and Nurja prepare to square off in the middleweight main event, the anticipation continues to build for what promises to be an unforgettable night of boxing.
