You may be under the impression that Jeff Horn, the former WBO welterweight champion, had already retired. Australian warrior Horn, most famous of course for his huge upset win over all-time great Manny Pacquiao, whom “The Hornet” upset in July of 2017, last boxed in August of 2020, when he was beaten by a 15-0 Tim Tszyu.
Horn Says Jai Opetaia Can Pull Off His Own Upset Over Mairis Briedis
Tomorrow in Australia, Jai Opetaia will challenge IBF and Ring Magazine cruiserweight champ Mairis Briedis and it has been pointed out how fellow Australian warrior Jeff Horn pulled off his big upset win over all-time great Manny Pacquiao exactly five years ago tomorrow – July 2.
Moments ago in Australia, unbeaten Tim Tszyu dished out a fearful hammering in stopping Jeff Horn in their hyped grudge-match. Tszyu, son of course of the great Kostya Tszyu, had things all his own way all night long, winning every round on this card before Horn was mercifully pulled out after the eighth round.
Horn vs Tszyu livestream begins at 5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT for a special Aussie edition of Breakfast and Boxing — Lewis Crocker-Louie Greene welterweight battle tops MTK Global show Wednesday at 2 p.m.
Another big fight that was postponed due to the coronavirus, Jeff Horn Vs. Tim Tszyu, is back on. The all-Australian grudge-fight is now scheduled to go down on August 26th in Townsville.
Heading into yesterday’s rematch with Michael Zerafa, Jeff Horn knew only too well how his very career was on the line.
It was a case of revenge in Brisbane, Australia earlier today. Bloody revenge to be exact. Former WBO welterweight champ Jeff Horn, who was upset and stopped by his countryman Michael Zerafa earlier in the year, tuned the tables in a quite incredible fight.
It seems Jeff Horn can forget all about being a middleweight. Earlier today in Bendingo, Australia, Michael Zerafa stopped Horn in a ninth-round upset win.
Australian warrior and former WBO welterweight champ Jeff Horn says Manny Pacquiao does not want to fight him a second time, because the Filipino superstar “knows how hard it’s going to be the second time, he wants nothing to do with it.”
Now that former IBF welterweight champ Kell Brook has missed out on a big domestic grudge-match with Amir Khan (again, Khan next facing Terence Crawford in what will almost certainly be Khan’s last shot at regaining a world championship), he needs to find himself another big fight that will suitably motivate him.
