Kostya Tszyu vs. Oktay Urkal

---

Sharing a billing with IBF Super Lightweight Champion Zab Judah to promote a unification bout between them, WBC and WBA Champion Kostya Tszyu takes on the undefeated Oktay Urkal. Tszyu manages to stun the tough German with a huge right hand in the fourth round and knock him off balance in the eighth, but Urkal shows a good chin in standing up to the punishment and dishing out his own. In the twelfth, he shakes Tszyu up with some big right hands, but Tszyu makes it through the round to win a close but unanimous decision on the scorecards.
