Nikita Tszyu vs Lulzim Ismaili: Weigh-In Results & Betting Odds

On Tuesday in Australia, junior middleweights Nikita Tszyu and Lulzim Ismaili weighed in to make their main event official on Wednesday night live from the ICC Exhibition Centre in Sydney, Australia.

Tszyu, the younger brother of Tim Tszyu, has been on a tear and is quickly climbing up the 154 lb ranks. Although he only fought twice last year and this fight is his first in 2025, Tszyu has quickly become a draw in Australia and will likely see his U.S. debut at some point in 2026. His opponent, 28-year-old Ismaili from Tetovo, Macedonia, is undefeated but also untested as he fights in Australia for the first time in his career.

Although the fight card will not be streamed in the U.S., FightsATW will have someone covering it who resides in Australia so that you can get the fight results shortly after.
