Tim Tsyzu's boxing career has been left in tatters after undefeated Russian champion Bakhram Murtazaliev handed him a beatdown of the highest order in the pair's IBF super welterweight world title fight Sunday in Orlando.

After a vicious beating at the hands of Russian Bakhram Murtazaliev, Australian Tim Tszyu delays his return to Australia, where he will get more check-ups to ensure he is physically OK.

Tim Tszyu's ascent toward boxing superstardom was slowed in his last outing when he dropped a split decision to Sebastian Fundora in a bloody war, losing the WBO junior middleweight title in the process. Tszyu looks to get back on track on Saturday when he faces IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev.
