Tim Tszyu has derided Bakhram Murtazaliev as a "step-aside" pretender while outlining his plans to prove himself the divisional king of global super-welterweight boxing.
Speaking publicly for the first time since his world title fight with Murtazaliev in Orlando was given the green light after Hurricane Milton swept through Florida, Tszyu was adamant he would strip the undefeated Russian of his IBF belt on Sunday.
