Oldest boxing world champion to face Tim Tzsyu who can eclipse feat set by legendary father

Erislandy Lara, boxing’s current oldest world champion, is set to defend his title against Tim Tszyu. Tszyu, son of boxing legend and former super-lightweight champion Kostya, will get his opportunity to become a two-division world title holder. It would see him surpass his famous father, who only ever conquered the world in one weight class. He will take on veteran WBA middleweight title holder Lara in Australia, who at the age of 43 is looking to continue his remarkable streak at the top level. The final details including a fight date will be made official in the coming weeks.
