WBO interim junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu has undergone emergency surgery after being bitten on the back of his right forearm by a dog. Tszyu was attending a BBQ at a friend’s home over the weekend. Tszyu’s manager Glen Jennings told FOX Sports Australia that the bite is superficial and he expects Tszyu to be ready and 100% healthy to fight Carlos Ocampo on June 18.
Stupid dog…
I just had a couple of beers with the dog. The dog is celebrating, not only did he put Tim in hospital the dog has the rematch clause in his favour.
That is a classic attention grabbing headline you would see in the front of the sport section. News at 11. Lol!!! I hope everything is ok.
What is the point of reporting this to the press? so you will show a vulnerability to your opponent or if you lose some sort of way out?
Big dog soon gonna be ready for him in USA soil
If it was superficial, why surgery? Sounds like bs to me. Fight cancellation coming soon.
My hunch… just a hunch…. Is that he probably got nipped and needed a couple stitches. My guess is use of the word “surgery” is exaggerated. I’ve worked at dog shelters most of my life, and 99% of bites are superficial. The 1% that aren’t, though, but really tear you up. Very few domesticated dogs would sink their teeth and shake open the muscle tissue… you’d normally just get a warning bite.
But if a flap of skin is pulled up they have to thoroughly clean to stop infection from the dogs saliva, so that could be the surgery. But agree it is likely only a few stitches otherwise.
Trap fight. This guy went 12 with Fundura and was kod in one round by Spence. If anything he is going to subject himself to criticizism regardless of the result. At least he is staying active. Gives him a better shot at going 12 with Charlo. Needs to sharpen his defense though.
What you talking about Willis? Last time I checked, Tim was undefeated.
He’s talking about Ocampo – went twelve with Fundora, stopped in one by Spence.
Sounds like they’re playing too rough.
Tszyu is a trooper. Not only is he staying active in an age when most so-called champs fight 1 to 2 times per year if that but he did not use this unfortunate incident as a means to pull out of the Ocampo fight. If this had happened to Charlo, he would have taken the rest of the year off.
Tim tzuyu is not even 10% of his father koztya as far as boxing is concerned
Koztya would ko both Charlos in the same time
You’re the most incoherent poster on fighnews. One thing has nothing to do with the other.
But he couldn’t KO Vine Phillips, Carlos. There you go with your anti-black sentiments. More black fighters in the IHOF than anybody…do your research. Keep taking penis enlargement pills, you’ll be “almost” like us one day.
Gotta have a large penis to make up for the extraordinarily small brains. Anyways…. If this dog bite happened to Charblow he’d be out for 8-10 months.
Yea because you fight since 1800 year and you fight in home USA but even you can’t give exciting fights like Mexicans you have no balls to fight like us
And besides you fight since 1800 year you have more fighters because you are at home you don’t need passport to go and ask for a opportunity
Our first champion came out in 1960’s and we have 230 champions
You have 400 champions
Funny how these freak incidents occur sometimes. Maybe Tim was play sparring with the dog and the dog got pissed off.
I heard it was Kerpal’s dog and Tim kicked his dog so it bit him
Everyone calm down!
The dog was subjected to a rehydration clause so he could only put on a few doggie pounds before the BBQ. That’s why his bite was a bit weak, but he still managed to last the BBQ distance, and steal a sausage at the final bell.
Rumour has it, the dogs doing fine, and after a big bowl of water he is ready for a rematch with the neighbours cat.
Thought it was going to be a man bites dig story.
Chihuahua attack!!!??
Tszyu, should stop teasing the shih tzu’s..
It got live at the BBQ
Berserker, we civilized y’all, and created math, agriculture, science, religion, government, and civilizations too name a few, so our brains can’t be too small; besides nature is doing quite a number on your population anyway…so bye…don’t be scared…its been real…lmao. The first shall be last and the last shall be first…the cycle of life.
LOL WTF?!!? Dude THAT is hilarious!! How can they which is not civilized civilize?? Nature doing quite a number on us?? Oh no, my sunburned skin!! Your own community is doing far worse for you. Keep the headlines coming, love reading about you guys killing each other non stop. Please step it up!
