Australian boxer Tim Tszyu shared a strong statement after defeating US opponent Tony Harrison to become a boxing world champion.

Tszyu, who is the son of legendary former boxer Kostya Tszyu, has an impressive 22-0 record, with 16 knockouts under his belt.

You can see what he had to say after his win here:

Tszyu took on Harrison - who has a 29-4-1 fight record - at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, last night.

Tszyu secured a win in the ninth round to snag himself the interim WBO super-welterweight world champion belt - a title his famous dad once held.

The win also means that Tszyu has secured a fight against Jermell Charlo later this year.

Tszyu sent out a clear message following his win and also took the opportunity to call out Charlo.

He said: “The message was sent clearly. You know whats up. You know what's coming. I’m coming to America.”

When asked if he had any final words, he said: “Australia you know - the rest of the world, you know now. What’s my motherf***ing name.”

He went on: "I've got one sentence: what's my motherf***ing name?

"This is what the f**k this is all about, every single one of you. What's my motherf***ing name? Say my motherf***ing name!"

Speaking after his defeat, Harrison admitted: "I trained extremely hard for the fight but the better man won tonight.

"He will go on to bigger and better things. I don't know where I go from here."

Charlo, who had originally been set to face Tszyu until he was put out the fight due to an injury, watched the match from New York as a special guest on Showtime Boxing International.

He said: "He was impressive. He did what he had to do at home.

"He was a little flat to me but my movement, my style and my power will make him do completely different things. When I get my [left] hand right and get back into the ring for training, put that tape in. That will work.

"This is exactly what we had seen. He comes forward but is not as fast. He's strong, of course, but aren't we all? I'm a different animal in there than Tony."

Commenting on his win, Tszyu said: "I was smart. I knew he had a jab so I had to be smart about it.

"The competitor I had in front of me, he was the man who beat the man. But I just beat that man so what does that make me?"
