Top prospect of the first middleweight (up to 69.9 kg) Tim Tszyu (21-0, 15 KOs) said that between him and the absolute champion of the division Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs) there is supposedly hostility, otherwise hatred. And because, says the Australian, their duel will bring huge profits.
“He is a very disrespectful person, so you need to shut him up. However, I still don’t like him,” Tszyu said on Fox Sports. – I think we will sell our fight coolly, since there is clearly no sympathy between us. Sheer hate. I am a mandatory applicant. He has a few months to make a decision, or he will have to give up the belt. Either fight me or give me the belt.”
Tszyu’s management claims to be in talks to fight Charlo.
Tim Tszyu not ready to fight e-Charlo – Castagno
However, Charlo has two more mandatory defenses on hand: against Sebastian Fundora (WBA) and Bakhram Murtazaliev (WBC).
It is not clear which of the three contenders will get a chance first.
Yesterday Tszyu reacted to e-Charlo’s win against Castaño and explained why he would beat Jermell. The latter is clearly not brought up adequately: he was rude to the reporter: “Fuck you and your Tim Kazu.”
