Tim Tszyu wins Australian junior middleweight title

Tim Tszyu W10 Joel Camilleri ... In front of a large Australian crowd and a pay-per-view audience, Tim Tszyu (13-0, 11 KOs) claimed the Australian junior middleweight title by defeating Joel Camilleri (17-6-1, 8 KOs). Tszyu, the son of former world 140-pound champion Kostya Tszyu, won a unanimous ten-round decision by scores of 99-91 (twice) and 98-92.  Camalleri, whose reign ended after less than three months as domestic champion, applauded as the verdict was read. With the careers of Sam Soliman and Anthony Mundine winding down, if not already over, Tszyu is emerging as one of the nation's biggest boxing attractions. Tszyu immediately called out former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn for what would be an Australian super-bout (Horn has since moved up to middleweight).source: australian media reports
