IBF #7 light middleweight Tim Tszyu wants to meet former WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn in April to decide who is best 154 pounder Down Under. “Jeff Horn’s promoter (Dean Lonergan) will be talking today to my promoter (Matt Rose) and I am hoping that the fight can be made so we can fight in three or four months,” said Tszyu on the Channel Seven Sunrise show. “Horn only has to sign the contract and we can get it on.”
Tszyu has agreed to a 60/40 split in favor of Horn. There is speculation that the fight would be staged in the city of Perth in Western Australia.
We are going to know from what wood Tzyu is really made.. It’s time !!
I really wish fighters and promotors would leave Horn alone so he can retire and drift off in the sunset. Horn has been a human punching bag in many fights and needs to go back to teaching as a career so he can live a decent life. Horn’s skills as a fighter are a lot to be desired. Nothing short of being a club fighter or simply a volume pitty patter puncher taking Adderall for ADHD.
In fairness Scooby, Horn has been commentating some of Tsyzu’s fights and has been pretty disparaging with his comments. Tszyu isnt ready for me, he’s not his old man etc.
or it’s been signed the whole time and the commentating remarks were staged.
Horn may be doing well in advertising himself for a fight, but I think he needs to get out while his faculties are intact in his brain. Horn is on the down slope of his career and there is no need for further punishment.
Tim Tszyu should challenge Terence Crawford to fight him in New York or Stadium Australia, if Horn isn’t up for it. Everyone hated Horn in Vegas. Everyone in the states remember Tim Tszyu’s dad, who fought in probably 8 states. (California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Connecticut, NJ, Tennessee, Florida). Tim Tszyu would have fans in NY. If they are talking MMA vs McGregor at 154, why not 154 vs Tim Tszyu, winner gets shot at WBO belt at 154.
Just a bit early for Crawford .. everyone would know of his champion father but he’s going to need a bit more than crowd support !!
Great matchup for Australia.
Big stadium?
I bet Horn pussy’s out on this fight, If the fight does get made I look forward to Tim KTFO the bum Horn.
