Vergil Ortiz Jr.<\/a> has sent a warning to Tim Tszyu<\/a>, scoring a lethal knockout victory over Thomas Durlome ahead of a blockbuster showdown with the Aussie later this year.<\/p>\n

The undefeated American star, who has looked dominant across 21 professional bouts, made light work of Dulorme on Sunday (AEST). <\/p>\n

In the first round, Ortiz would drop his opponent with a nasty body shot, before the referee waved it off and gave the 26-year-old a decisive stoppage win. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"It was a very calculated shot. I can't really explain it in words. I just feel [when to throw punches like that]. I heard him make a sound, and the way he fell, I knew it was over."<\/p>\n

After the fight, Ortiz would sent a direct message to Tszyu, with the pair slated \ufeffto co-main event a huge card featuring pound-for-pound boxing king Terence Crawford<\/a> in Los Angeles on August 5. <\/p>\n

"Hey, Tim – I know you're watching, I'm ready for you," he said.<\/p>\n

"Let's get ready for World War III. Let's put on the best show for the people."<\/p>\n

Tszyu – who suffered the first loss of his pro career last month against Sebastian Fundora<\/a> – reacted to Ortiz's swipe on social media and is ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n
