Jeff Horn has officially hung up his boxing gloves,three years since he last left the ring.
Bookies have the Brisbane talent a rank outsider but Horn,who shocked Manny Pacquiao to win the WBO welterweight title in 2017,feels the 26-year-old is capable of an upset.
Jeff Horn is in the bizarre situation of cheering for one member of the Tszyu family and against another due to the upcoming “battle of the brothers”.
Having been in the ring with both Tim Tszyu and Michael Zerafa,former world champion Jeff Horn is uniquely qualified to predict a winner.
After a run of mismatched bouts and one-sided hidings that should have been stopped sooner,Australian boxing must lift its game as Tim Tszyu meets Dennis Hogan.
Jeff Horn's trainer has hit back at criticism of his handling of the corner in the loss to Tim Tszyu,saying Horn deserved the chance to decide his destiny.
Tim Tszyu's clinical win over Horn was a shot in the arm for Australian boxing. But the actions of Rushton to keep his guy fighting were unforgivable.
Tim Tszyu just arrived in emphatic fashion. In dismantling Jeff Horn,he emerged from his father's shadow to signal his arrival as a force on the global stage.
It's the biggest all-Australian fight in years and we're ringside as Horn and Tszyu go toe-to-toe in Townsville with the main event set down for 9.30pm.
He won't be known as the son of Kostya any more. In a clinical performance,the Sydneysider has likely retired Jeff Horn to launch himself onto the world stage.
Glenn Rushton still isn't happy but the two judges at the centre of controversy ahead of the Horn-Tszyu bout will take their place ringside in Townsville.
