Nikita Tszyu is scheduled to fight Oscar Diaz on May 6, 2026, in Newcastle, Australia. This is another important step in Tszyu’s career as he continues building toward higher-level opposition.
Tszyu is known for his aggressive, pressure-heavy style, strong body punching, and knockout power. He tends to push the pace early and break opponents down rather than box cautiously. Diaz, on the other hand, is generally more experienced and durable, but not considered elite at the same level. He’s the type of opponent who can test Tszyu’s composure and stamina if the fight goes longer.
In terms of chances, Tszyu is widely seen as the favorite. If he controls the tempo and lands clean early, a stoppage win is very possible. Diaz’s best chance would be to survive the early pressure, extend the fight into later rounds, and capitalize on any defensive gaps or fatigue.
The fight will be available in Australia via Foxtel Main Event and streamed through Kayo Sports as a pay-per-view. The event is expected to start around 7:00 PM AEST, with Tszyu likely fighting later in the evening as part of the main card.
