Tim Tszyu vs Carlos Ocampo fight preview
Tszyu, boasting an impressive record of 22 wins with 16 knockouts, took the WBO interim title in March during Charlo’s absence by defeating former champion Tony Harrison in Australia. This victory helped Tszyu maintain his momentum and stay active in the ring. Now, he prepares to do so once again on Saturday, this time in his homeland of Broadbeach, Australia, as he squares off against Carlos Ocampo, a former welterweight title challenger with a record of 35 wins and 2 losses, including 23 knockouts. Tszyu aims to showcase his skills and continue his quest for greatness on home soil.
During Ocampo’s career, he has faced top-tier opponents in title fights, resulting in his only losses. In 2018, he was halted by Errol Spence Jr. in a 147-pound bout, and just last October, he engaged in an exhilarating battle, ultimately losing a decision to former interim WBC junior middleweight title holder Sebastian Fundora. However, it is worth noting that Ocampo, hailing from Mexico, rebounded impressively, winning 12 bouts in between those defeats, with nine victories coming by way of knockout.
