Sydney Arena - Above all else Sydney Arena is about presenting city life

Expect this will prelude Fury's goal to becoming undisputed world champion.

Tim Tszyu, son of Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu, is looking at options as he prepares to step outside of Australia towards a world title, and Hall of Famer Kostya would like to see his rising star Tim fight in Russia where 20 million people know the last name Tszyu. Tim Tszyu says he’s now ready to step up to a new level and, while he likes the idea of facing Brook who fought GGG, he wants to bring his upcoming big fights to Australia where the people believe “he’s not just the son, he’s the real deal”.

The two fighting Dutchmen, Rob Kamman and Ramon Dekkers created an awesome buzz in the early 90s when they fought like a Thai and beat some of best Thai boxers in Thailand as well as around the world. Kamman had trouble finding opponents over middleweight in the Bangkok stadiums, but Dekkers could get his weight down to welterweight and under, and took on the best. For a while he was living and training full time in Bangkok, as a muaythai professional, taking fights at the top stadiums every six weeks.

Muaythai Boxing News Always were, and always will be comparisons of the champions from decade to decade. The '90s were considered the golden age of muaythai when ticket sales were more valuable than TV coverage. In the first half of the 90s the 7 invincibles from Bangkok stadiums "best of the best" put on a sensational show at the Burswood casino in Perth, Western Australia. In those days Namkabuan was the impeccable star of Lumpinee and Saengthienoi ruled\ the roost at Rajadamnern.

It’s only a matter of time before Golden Boy Promotions seals the deal for the much-desired trilogy showdown between Canelo Alvarez versus Gennadiy GGG Golovkin. Golovkin says he can’t win by points in Nevada and wants the inevitable trilogy fight to take place in New York at Madison Square Garden or Dallas at AT&T Stadium. For the record Alvarez had a split draw with Golovkin in 2017 and majority points decision win in 2018 that was disputed by all in sundry. Both fights took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. GGG doesn’t want to fight again in Sin City. GGG (39-1-1, 35 KOs) signed off for 10-fight deal worth $365-million with DAZN last year.
