Heartwarming moment Tim Tszyu’s mother Natalia comforts Carlos Ocampo after knockout loss

Tim Tszyu’s mother comforted Carlos Ocampo after her son knocked out the Mexican fighter in just 77 seconds on Sunday afternoon to retain his WBO interim super welterweight title.

Risking it all, Tszyu produced a stunning display of firepower to successfully defend the belt he claimed with an extraordinary ninth-round stoppage of American Tony Harrison in Sydney in March.

A self-confessed “obsessed” Tszyu knocked out Ocampo in barely a minute in a ferocious performance at the Gold Coast Convention Center to send a chilling warning to undisputed world champion Jermell Charlo.

Tszyu took just 77 seconds to take the win, after knocking Ocampo down with a right hand and sealing the deal with a vicious left hook that left the Mexican on the canvas.

After the fight, while Tszyu was being interviewed by the media, his mother Natalia was seen on the Main Event broadcast entering Ocampo’s locker room to comfort him.

Natalia was then seen hugging Ocampo and placing her hand on his face in a heartwarming gesture.

“Look,” said commentator Shawn Porter. “That’s a mama being a mama right there. They care about everyone.’

Tim Tszyu replied, “100 percent. I could understand what he feels. This is a hostile mob.

“This is pretty crazy. Of course it’s intimidating to be the outsider.’

Natalia Tszyu moved to Australia from Russia in 1992 with former world champion Kostya Tszyu and the couple shared three children: Anastasia, Tim and Nikita.

However, their marriage ended in 2008 and Kostya returned to Russia, where he has now built a business empire, remarried and had two more children.

Natalia chose to stay in Australia and raise her children as a single mother and has no regrets about her decision.

Tszyu was ordered last month to fight Charlo for the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF titles before Oct. 1 after the pair’s scheduled showdown on Jan. 29 was postponed over Christmas when the American had two bones in his right hand. broke.

But typically, Tszyu once again took the opportunity to confirm his appointment with fate against Charlo with the most astonishing performance of his career, extending his undefeated record to 23 wins from 23 fights with a 17th KO.
