Nikita Tszyu shares ‘wholesome’ emotional moment with his brother Tim BRUTAL win over Darkon Dryden

Nikita Tszyu and his brother Tim shared an emotional moment after the former defeated Darkon Dryden in three rounds on Saturday.

The younger of the Tszyu brothers put on a clinic at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre to stop win by TKO after Dryden did not return for the fourth round.

The former Australian light middleweight champion, Tim has a 21-0 record with 15 knockouts but was merely a spectator on Saturday night.

As Nikita celebrated with his team, he jumped over the ropes and kissed him on the head before sharing a warm embrace with his sibling.  

‘How wholesome was it!’ Nikita said told the Main Event cameras during the ring interview.

‘I wish I could have kissed him first.’ 

Tszyu claimed his fourth win in as many professional bouts with a devastating display, dominating from the first bell.

Speaking after the fight, he admitted the lead-up to the bout was ‘the most nervous’ he’d been in his life with ‘so many sleepless nights’.

And he paid tribute to Dryden for making life hard for him for three rounds. 

‘I didn’t expect him to be this tough, honestly,’ he said.

‘Got me with a few body shots. It was a great learning experience for me.’

Tszyu now has four wins in as many bouts in his short professional boxing career 

But he admitted that Dryden had proved to be a harder opponent than he expected 

His brother Tim said Nikita deserved a ’10 out of 10′ mark for the way he fought and he wasn’t alone in heaping praise on his sibling.

‘He’s broken down his opponent with the most mature performance we’ve seen from him to date,’ Main Event commentator Ben Damon said.

‘He produced the full kit of punches. He boxed, but it was brutal. The butcher with another win, and he is absolutely loving it here.’

Main Event analyst Barry Michael described the performance as ‘meticulous’, while former world champion and Aussie boxing legend Jeff Fenech noted Tszyu ‘was so much better than his last fight.’
