Tim Tszyu<\/a>'s long-awaited fight against Jermell Charlo<\/a> has been called off after the American moved up two weight divisions with the aim of taking on Canelo Alvarez.<\/p>\n

The World Boxing<\/a> Organisation had ordered Charlo to fight the undefeated Aussie for all four Super Welterweight belts by September 30, but Tszyu had feared Charlo would avoid the fight.<\/p>\n

Tszyu had retained the interim title with his first-round knockout of Mexican Carlos Ocampo on the Gold Coast last month.<\/p>\n

It's believed the Tszyu camp was blindsided by the announcement, finding out with the rest of the world through social media.<\/p>\n
