It’s the multi-million-dollar roll of the dice that could land Tim Tszyu the biggest single pay day in Australian sports history. While some pundits believe Tszyu’s decision to take on American “Towering Inferno” Sebastian Fundora on 12 days’ notice is madness, victory in Las Vegas on Sunday will secure a $US10 million windfall — with even more riches in the offing.
But no Australian athlete can ever boast of earning $US10 million in one day. When his original opponent, former world champion Keith Thurman, pulled out of Sunday’s non-title pay-per-view blockbuster last week with a biceps injury, Tszyu could have sat back and waited. Instead he jumped at the chance to take on Fundora, who stands 22cm taller than Tszyu. The Sydney slayer said “zero” boxers in the world would fight Fundora on such short notice, especially with his WBO world title on the line.
