Sebastian Fundora has dethroned Tim Tszyu to claim the WBO and WBC super welterweight titles in Las Vegas on Saturday.
An accidental elbow caused a massive cut on the head of the Tszyu, changing the complexion of the fight at the end of the second round.
Fundora’s jab and length proved the distance, capitalising on the impaired Tszyu through the middle rounds, stealing enough to get the split decision (116-112, 115-113, 112-116)
