was “very disappoint­ed” by the setback.

“I felt like the stars aligned for undisputed … but we move on,” Tszyu said.

“I’m ready to take on the next mandatory challenger. I’ll be back for Charlo once he is ready and healed.”

Charlo became the undisputed champion after defeating Brian Castano in May this year, unifying all four titles.

Tzuyu sat ringside at Dignity Healty Sports Park in Los Angeles to watch the fight and is the mandatory challenger for the WBO belt.

The Australian arrived in America in November to begin preparatio­ns, and Fox Sports’ Nick Walshaw revealed how secretive his training camp in the lead-up to the bout has been.

While it remains to be seen when the fight will be reschedule­d to, Tszyu will likely employ the same tactics, keeping only his trainer Igor Goloubev and a small crew in his empty gym.

The push for privacy is being driven

SAO PAULO — One of Pele’s daughters said Wednesday she and her family are enduring moments of sadness and despair as the 82-year-old Brazilian soccer great’s hospitaliz­ation nears one month.

The three-time World Cup winner’s cancer has advanced and doctors at Albert Einstein hospital recently said he’s under “elevated care” related to “kidney and cardiac dysfunctio­ns”.

Pele was admitted to the Sao Paulo facility on November 29. The hospital hasn’t published any updates in the past week.

“These moments are hard to explain. Sometimes it is a lot of sadness and despair, in other moments we laugh and speak about fun memories,” Kely Nascimento said on Instagram.

Other family members are also at the hospital.
