Fighting for the 1st time since July of 2022, IBO champ Jermell Charlo finally decided to get back into the ring coming to Australia to face rising star - Tim Tszyu.

Neither fighter appeared rusty as the 2 traded hard blows for the 1st 3 rounds with Jermell appearing to have the edge. From the 4th round on, Charlo just appeared to be the faster/better athlete in addition to being the better boxer & slowly beat Tim up forcing the ref to step in at 2:40 of the 11th due to the swelling of Tim's left eye. Tim also had a cut lip & apparently hurt one of his hand as well.

Charlo had the PL edge: 335 (41%) to 127 (11%) & all 3 judges had the fight 98-92 for Charlo.

It was his 7th title defense & is now 18-1-1 with 5 KOs.

Tim's now 8-1 with 6 KO's.
