'Family business': Tszyu on grandpa's influence
Tim Tszyu poses with his team after defeating Joey Spencer via TKO.
Speaking post-fight, Tszyu opened up on having his grandpa, Boris (second from Tszyu's left), in his corner.
"I need him," he told Main Event.
"It's a family affair, and I know it's sometimes hard with him.
"He calls me at really random times on FaceTime [when I'm away], but it's good to have him. It's a family business."
Remarkably, Boris has been ringside for every one of the famous Tszyu family's 50 wins on Australian soil, beginning with Kostya and continuing with Tim and Nikita.
