With the hype around Tszyu, Murtazaliev's name may be overlooked despite his undefeated steak of 22 fights.

However, speaking to Fight Hype, the Russian wasn't bothered by that perception.

"I don't care who is overlooking me," he said.

"I am here to fight and the ring will show who is who.

"Everything is in the hands of God. He (Tszyu) talks a lot.

"And on fight night we will know who is the better man."

In classic pre-fight boxing talk, Murtazaliev went on to declare he'd finish Tszyu by knockout: "If I connect ... it's going to be a smart war."

"You can talk a lot before the fight. But doing it is completely different story."
