Nikita Tszyu insists he was fine but his team admit to being slightly scared at one moment during his unanimous decision (100-88, 100-89, 99-90) victory over Danilo Creati at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on Wednesday.
The southpaw dominated the bout either side of being wobbled by a short right hand in the sixth round, retaining his Australian super welterweight title after a typically aggressive outing.
Earlier in the night, Malik Zinad defeated Jerome Pampellone in their IBF light heavyweight title eliminator, while Clara Lescurat turned away the challenge of the Sydney-based Linn Sandstrom in their scrap for WBA super flyweight gold.
