MELBOURNE : Former world champion Tony Harrison thanked Tim Tszyu for accepting his challenge for the interim WBO super welterwight title fight in Sydney next month, saying the Australian had woken him"up out of the dead".
Harrison, 32, is hoping to set up another fight against compatriot Charlo, having beaten him for the WBC belt in 2018 only to lose the rematch the following year."It's everything for me, man," Harrison told a media conference from Detroit on Wednesday. "So I swear I'm really hugging Tim right now because without Tim there was no other possible way that I was ever going to possibly get the opportunity to get back to the fight I want."You brought me back to life."
