The fight in Australia would be a voluntary defence of the IBF title, before Tszyu looks ahead to unification bouts and a likely re-match with the towering Sebastian Fundora.

But Tszyu isn’t getting ahead of himself – he labelled Murtazaliev ‘gritty’ and knows the Russian will be tough to beat in Florida.

Meanwhile, Tszyu has received one last spiritual boost from his father as he bids to emulate the legendary Kostya as a two-time boxing world champion.

A day after Kostya gatecrashed the official pre-fight press conference for his son’s IBF super-welterweight showdown in Florida, Tszyu revealed the gift his dad handed over at their emotion-charged family reunion.

‘My dad has worry beads. That’s what they’re called,’ he said.

‘Dad can’t go a day in his life or move around anywhere without them. ‘He got me some good ones and I guess I’ve got to start flipping them around.’

Before Tszyu enters the ring, the undercard at the Caribe Royale Orlando begins at 11am on Sunday AEDT.

The co-main event in the US will be Yoenis Tellez versus Johan Gonzalez in super welterweight action, with Tszyu versus Murtazaliev available on Kayo for $69.95.
