Tim Tszyu fears Bakhram Murtazaliev may not front for their world title fight as the Australian strives to rule the global super-welterweight division.
The pair are slated to square off next month - either in Australia or Las Vegas - after the International Boxing Federation ordered Murtazaliev (22-0, 16KOs) to defend his IBF belt against Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs).
But after having a succession of scheduled blockbusters fall over, mostly through no shows from his opponents, Tszyu is suitably wary and reckons his undefeated Russian rival may be the next to dodge him.
