Airdate: Jeff Horn vs Tim Tszyu

All-Aussie super fight with Jeff Horn taking on Tim Tszyu will take place on Wednesday night at from Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville.

This will be available as pay per view on Foxtel’s Main Event channel and Kayo for $59.95.

Kayo Sports Executive Director, Ant Hearne said: “We’re pumped to be able to bring this hugely anticipated fight, between two of Australia’s favourite sports stars, to fans to stream across the country. More Aussies, particularly those in Victoria who are in lockdown and can’t get to a venue to watch, can now access the fight through Kayo, which takes only a few minutes to sign up to.”

Jeff Horn said: “I think Tim has definitely got the ability, whether he’s got it now or not is a question to be asked. And that’s the question I’m going to be asking on the night when we’re fighting. At a difficult time when many people are in lockdown and unable to leave home or travel to watch the fight ringside or with mates, with Kayo and Foxtel we are able to do this for the fans and bring the fight into people’s homes instead.”

Tim Tszyu said: “I’ve got a lot hanging on this and a lot to prove. Hopefully this fight brings something different than just skills and brings the beast out of me.

“I’m looking forward to having a competitor such as Jeff Horn, with his style. I was at the Horn-Pacquiao fight and as soon as it finished, I looked at my manager to ‘make this happen’ – three years later, here we are.”

7pm Wednesday August 26 on Main Event / Kayo.
