Aussie boxer Tim Tszyu is facing an uncertain future following confirmation he will not get a re-match with Sebastian Fundora.
The development comes as Fundora, the new WBC and WBO light middleweight world champion, is likely to follow a demand from boxing officials to defend his belts against pound for pound king Terence Crawford.
In a significant blow for Tszyu, it was revealed on Monday the WBO has made Crawford the mandatory challenger for Fundora's title following the 12-round slugfest in Las Vegas on Sunday AEDT.
The son of boxing royalty Kostya Tszyu started his fight in ominous touch, but a stray elbow from the 'Towering Inferno' opened up a nasty cut high on his forehead in the second round.
Tszyu - now (24-1) - said post fight he was 'blinded' by his own blood, as he suffered his first defeat in 25 bouts by split decision.
