The Tszyu-Gausha fight was originally scheduled to take place one week before the revised March 27 (AEDT) date on the Jermell Charlo vs Brian Castano card at Crypto.com Arena (formerly known as Staples Center) in Los Angeles, California. But the event collapsed when Castaño withdrew from the fight after reportedly suffering a bicep tear during training camp.

Tszyu (20-0, 15KO) is the mandatory challenger for the WBO title held by the Argentine fighter.
Tszyu offered to fill in for Castano and there was also talk of Tszyu taking on the next available contender for the WBO interim world title, but those plans never materialised.
California-based Gausha (22-2-1, 11 KOs), stopped Jamontay Clark in round two of his last bout on March 13 last year. That win was six months after losing by unanimous decision to Erickson Lubin.
Also on the card, undefeated lightweight Michel Rivera of the Dominican Republic will face unbeaten Joseph Adorno.
The other bout will see Yoelvis Gomez (5-0, 5 KOs) of Cuba square off against Mexico's Jorge Cota (30-5, 27 KOs) in a 10-round fight.
