sport news Tim Tszyu's mum drops baby bombshell about champion boxer and his fiancee ... trends now
Tim Tszyu's mother Natalia has predicted the Aussie world champ and his fiancee will give her a grandson who follows in his footsteps by becoming a boxer, just days before he has the biggest fight of his life in Las Vegas.
The 29-year-old fights 197cm-tall Sebastian Fundora on Sunday, Australian time, with Tszyu's WBO super-welterweight belt and the vacant WBC title on the line.
Natalia Tszyu made the prediction while in Vegas to see her son try to follow in his legendary father Kostya's footsteps by claiming a world title in Sin City - which would make him the first Australian-born boxer to accomplish the feat.
'I'm telling you, I won't be surprised if one day you are talking to me and I'm going to be a grandmother and my grandsons are going to be fighting,' she told Fox Sports.
'Honestly, I feel it.'

The Aussie world champ is engaged to long-time partner Alexandra Constantine (pictured together) after they met during a boxing class in Sydney in 2016
Constantine has been at almost all of Tim's fights and will be ringside when he takes on the biggest challenge of his career - and biggest opponent - on Sunday, Australian time
Tszyu is in for a David vs Goliath clash with Fundora, who is a staggering 23cm taller than him and has an incredible reach advantage.
The Aussie is a huge favourite to win the bout, and doing so would see him emulate his dad, who scored arguably his most famous victory when he knocked out Zab Judah in spectacular fashion to become the unified lightweight champion of the world at the gambling mecca
