Tszyu, 25, is seen as Australia’s next PPV boxing star, and a win over Biggs can put him onto the international scene fighting on older brother Tim’s undercards in the USA, who is on top of the boxing world at the moment. But to reach there, he first has to face and pass his sternest test yet, a grueling 10-round bout for the first time.
Being a son of legendary father Kostya and brother of Tim, Tszyu has some shoes to fill but said he enjoys the pressure.
“I love that I’ve got this kind of pressure on me.”
“It’s keeping me sharp, and it makes every single moment that I get into the ring a life or death situation.
“Honestly, it feels like I’m a gladiator back in the Roman days where any mistake I make, it would basically mean death. So I can’t make any mistakes or else I die.
“That’s a beautiful thing to have in the back of your head.” He said.
Dylan Biggs Bio and Record

Height: 6’1″ (187cm)
Reach: 74″ (187cm)
Stance: Orthodox
Record: 10-0-0 (7 KOs)
Biggs, the “Beaudesert Storm” has been described as Australia’s version of Ukraine boxing superstar Oleksandr Usyk because of his silent-assassin approach.
The reigning Australian champion will enter the ring with seven knockouts, matching Nikita Tszyu’s professional fight record. However, while he is more experienced than Tszyu, he has only fought on televised cards a couple of times.
Biggs claimed the Australian super welterweight title against Dan Hill in July and backed it up with a first-round stoppage win over Ryan Mitchem in September.
Australia’s youngest boxing champion is heading to the bout with bragging rights, having dropped Tszyu several years ago.
In answer to a question, he said he had always expected to face Tszyu at some point.
“I’ve know this fight was coming and I’ve been preparing for it.”
“I believe the real boxing fans, the ones that watch it for the joy of the sport and for boxing itself know that I’m the ‘A-side’ and see my as the A-side.
“I’ve got the numbers, I’ve had 10 fights as a pro with seven knockouts and I’m the youngest current champion in Australian boxing.”
When asked what he sees in Tszyu, Biggs said:
“Vulnerability. I see that he’s very hittable. I’d imagine he’s going to be working a lot on his defence in this camp, but I don’t see that changing much.”
