Tszyu (11-0), the headline act, fights the also-unbeaten Oscar 'The Bull' Diaz (16-0) for the WBO international super welterweight title.
Sydney-based Tszyu, who is fighting for the fourth time in Newcastle, vowed to "slice" 'The Bull' in front of an expected crowd of more than 3,000 fans at the Broadmeadow venue.
"I'm going to put on a show that will get people off their seats, will have people screaming and will hopefully make people want to drink more beers," Tszyu said.
