Australian boxing’s prodigal son Tim Tszyu has shrugged off a dog bite that required 26 stitches to his arm 23 days ago, to come out swinging and knock out Carlos Ocampo 72-seconds into the first round of their super-welterweight bout on the Gold Coast.

In his first world title defence, Tszyu exploded from his corner and landed 14 shots out of his first 36, with 13 connecting with the head of his rival, and one devastating blow to the body. In contrast, Ocampo failed to land a single shot from 17 attempts.
