The great Johnny Lewis has anointed Tim Tszyu a world champion in waiting, declaring the son of a gun primed to join his legendary father in boxing's record books.
Tszyu takes on accomplished American Tony Harrison at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday bidding to become only the sixth second-generation boxer to capture a world title.
And 28 years after being in Kostya's corner for his maiden world title win at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas - when Tim was barely two months old - Lewis is convinced history will repeat.
