Nikita Tszyu vs. Oscar Diaz: When It Starts and Ring Walk Times
There's a fight flying under the radar this week, but it carries real stakes. Two unbeaten fighters are set to collide as Nikita Tszyu faces Oscar Diaz with a regional title on the line and momentum at stake in the super welterweight division.
Tszyu, the son of legendary former champion Kostya Tszyu and brother of former WBO champion Tim Tszyu, is looking to reset after a frustrating outing against Michael Zerafa, which ended in the third round due to a head clash and was ruled a no contest. Before that, he stopped Lulzim Ismaili, finished Koen Mazoudier, and outboxed Danilo Creati over the distance-showing both power and control.
Diaz enters in steady form. He's coming off a decision win over Leonardo Di Stefano to claim the WBC Latino title, adding to wins over Khalid Ennachat and Anderson Rangel. He also holds a split decision and stoppage win over Ezequiel Gurria.
