WBC/WBA/IBF Super Lightweight Championship
Undisputed Super Lightweight Champion Kostya Tszyu returns home to Australia to defend his crown against veteran challenger Jesse James Leija. Leija takes the fight to a rusty Tszyu in the early rounds, but Tszyu's power starts to carry the day in the fourth. When Leija returns to his corner after the sixth round bleeding from a cut over the eye and complaining of a busted eardrum, his trainers stop the fight.
