Nikita Tszyu and his brother Tim shared an emotional moment after the former defeated Darkon Dryden in three rounds on Saturday.
The youngest of the Tszyu brothers gave a clinic at the Newcastle Entertainment Center to stop the win by TKO after Dryden failed to return for the fourth round.
The former Australian Light Middleweight Champion, Tim has a 21-0 record with 15 knockouts, but was just a spectator on Saturday night.

As Nikita celebrated with his team, he jumped the ropes and kissed him on the head before sharing a warm hug with his sibling.
“How healthy it was!” Nikita 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 fights with a devastating display, dominating from the first bell.

After the fight, he admitted that the lead-up to the fight was “the most nervous” he’d been in his life with “so many sleepless nights.”
And he paid tribute to Dryden for giving him three rounds a hard time.
“I honestly didn’t expect him to be this tough,” he said.
“Gived me a few body shots. It was a great learning experience for me.’

His brother Tim said Nikita deserved a 10 out of 10 for the way he fought and he wasn’t the only one to praise his sibling.
“He beat his opponent with the most mature performance we’ve seen from him to date,” said Main Event commentator Ben Damon.
“He produced the full set of punches. He boxed, but it was brutal. The butcher with another win, and he’s having a great time here.’
Main Event analyst Barry Michael described the performance as “scrupulous”, while former world champion and Australian boxing legend Jeff Fenech noted that Tszyu was “so much better than his last fight”.
