Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza battle it out in the main event at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach, QLD on Sunday, October 15. The contest features Australia’s WBO super welterweight champion up against interim WBC titleholder of the United States. The world championship bout is scheduled for 12 rounds.

Tim Tszyu, the undefeated Australian star, returns to the Gold Coast to make the first defense of his Junior Middleweight title against Brian Mendoza, who is fresh off one of the KOs of the year. Tszyu, the son of boxing legend Kostya Tszyu, dominated former world champion Tony Harrison to win the interim title in March before knocking out Carlos Ocampo in one round in June. Mendoza scored one of the year’s biggest upsets and best KOs when he stopped Sebastian Fundora in April. Live on SHOWTIME.

Two champions are set to collide in what promises to be a monumental fight night. Tim Tszyu, the newly crowned WBO champion, will square off against Brian ‘The Giant Killer’ Mendoza, the menacing WBC champion. This fight catapults Tim into the big time as he comes up against the best in the division. It’s “Champion vs Champion,” and the stakes? Absolutely massive.

The fight is locked in for Sunday, October 15. No Limit is worked hard to secure the event on home soil giving fight fans the chance to see Tim live before he likely heads off the The U.S. for the foreseeable future.

For the victor, the spoils of war could lead to a mega-fight against the boxing elites, be it Terrence Crawford, Jermell Charlo, or Canelo Alvarez in 2024. This battle serves as a launchpad to ascend into boxing royalty. But for Tim Tszyu, this is not just any fight. Mendoza represents the toughest challenge he’s faced. The Giant Killer doesn’t just bring a championship belt to the ring. He carries with him devastating power in both fists and a record of defeating those thought unbeatable.

Openly conceding to having a huge chip on his shoulder, Brian Mendoza is promising to shatter Tim Tszyu’s world-title dreams with a brutal display of sustained firepower.

Mendoza (22–2, 16KOs) is convinced Tszyu (23–0, 17KOs) won’t be able to cope with his relentless counter-punching when Australian boxing’s son of a gun puts his WBO super-welterweight belt on the line on the Gold Coast on Sunday.

The 29-year-old American is riding high after recording a thunderous against-the-odds knockout win over Sebastian Fundora to claim the WBC super-welterweight strap.

“Once he gets you — and he’s a finisher and everything — but I think just based off the facts I have more explosive shots,” Mendoza said after a workout in Sydney on Monday.

“The thing about me is I have power, but I’m not just a power puncher. I don’t go in there trying to look for one shot. I’ll hurt you for 12 rounds.

“I do look for the knockout. I do want to put on a big show. That’s why I even got called here to this country in the first place for this title fight.

“But I’m in there to put punishment on you for 12 rounds — however long the fight needs to go for me to get that victory.”

While he fully respects Tszyu, Mendoza says the bitter aftertaste of two defeats in 2019 and 2021 are fuelling his bid to end the Sydney slayer’s undefeated career.

“I have a bigger chip on my shoulder. I have more to prove each time out,” he said.

“I always hated to say that, but it is something I needed to go through, something I had to experience, because before you feel that taste of defeat, it’s something impossible. It’s unfathomable. You really don’t think it’s possible and then it kind of crushes in reality.

“So when — if — you can make it through the ups and downs of that roller coaster, there’s a lot to come out through on top of that.

“And I just really, really had to dig it out, so that hunger is really what makes a difference here.”

The WBC’s refusal to strip undisputed king Jermell Charlo of his belt despite the American reneging on his deal to fight Tszyu has denied Tszyu the chance to follow in his father Kostya’s footsteps by unifying the division with victory over Mendoza.

Mendoza had to vacate his interim title to face Tszyu for WBO honours only, but has no regrets.

“It’s crazy how the world turns. When I was a kid, like a young kid, I wasn’t even too interested in boxing,” Mendoza said.

“My dad was a huge fight fan and we would always go to fight parties and watch the fights and stuff, and we used to watch Kostya’s world title fights and everything.
