Timofey Tszyu suffered the first defeat of his career in a fight with Sebastian Fundora for the WBC and WBO world junior middleweight boxing titles. The Australian looked confident at the beginning of the fight, but at the end of the second round he received a deep cut on his forehead and lost the initiative.

Two of the three judges gave preference to the American. The final word went to the third judge, who also sided with the American - 112:113, 115:113.
