Nikita Tszyu has overcome a nasty mid-fight moment to score a unanimous points win over Danilo Creati and retain his Australian super welterweight title at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion.
Tszyu (9-0, 8 KOs) caught Creati (8-2-1, 1 KO), with some powerful left hand shots in the first round in Wednesday's clash, and the Italian-born challenger had a knockdown scored against him in the second, when his glove brushed the canvas.
