Almost two years since their older brothers took to the ring, Nikita Tszyu and Ben Horn face off at a sellout Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday 20 July, complemented by a stellar undercard.

Tszyu v Horn preview

The last time Tszyu met Horn, it was Tim Tszyu by technical knockout over Jeff. The two surnames will again be the headline act in Sydney on Wednesday, but this time it is their younger brothers.

Fighting the same super welterweight division their two brothers did, Nikita Tszyu and Ben Horn take to the ring for what has been coined ‘The Battle of the Brothers.’

The pair have been quick to temper the family rivalry billed in the media with Nikita entering the fight having fought professionally just twice before – winning both by knockout – while Horn is four wins and as many losses.

For boxing tragics, the undercard is full of as much intrigue as the main event.

Up-and-coming Sam Goodman is taking on Filipino boxer Juan Miguel Elorde for the WBO Oriental & IBF Inter-Continental super bantamweight titles in the second to last fight of the night.

Undefeated in 11 professional fights, 23-year-old Goodman from Albion Park in NSW has quite the supporter base behind him.

Former NRL star Justin Hodges is also on the undercard in his quest to take on Paul Gallen.
