WBO #1 light-middleweight Tim Tszyu (19-0, 15 KOs) is totally dialed in on defeating former WBO world title challenger Takeshi Inoue (17-1-1, 10 KOs) on November 17 in Australia. “I’m smashing pads four times this week, sparring twice, conditioning three times, strength three times. I’m on the sand dunes, doing my stretching work and running every morning,” Tszyu told Fox Sports. “I’m eight weeks in already. I’ve been smashing myself!”
The Tszyu-Inoue undercard will feature many of Australia’s best 154-pound boxers in action.
Wade Ryan (19-9, 7 KOs) against Ben Mahoney (11-0, 6 KOs), former world title challenger Dennis Hogan (28-4-1, 7 KOs) against Tommy Browne (42-7-2, 18 KOs), and formerly world-rated Joel Camilleri (20-6-1, 8 KOs) against Wes Capper (22-4-1, 13 KOs).
Tim does need a good hard fight to see where he’s at !!!!
Tzyu should be able to handle Inoue fairly easily… honestly this seems like a step down in competition for Tim, his last few opponents seemed to be higher calibre. Inoues tough but hasn’t beaten anyone of note.
Is that the same Tommy Browne who fought Chris John 15 + years ago? Wow.
Tszyu in 2! under full of has been’s.
Inoue is by far not at the level of his cousin..
