Undefeated #1 rated super welterweight Tim Tszyu and former world champion Tony “Superbad” Harrison met face-to-face in front of the iconic Sydney Harbor Bridge and famed Sydney Opera House on Friday at the final press conference ahead of their showdown for the vacant WBO interim 154-pound title. Harrison strolled onto the dais shirtless and looking supremely confident, Tszyu arrived in a blue suit.
Tony Harrison: “I’ve been fighting every single day of my life. I don’t think he’s had to endure half the stuff that I have…I already have visualized how this fight is coming. I think I know how this fight is going to play out, and I think the whole world knows how this fight plays out.”
Tim Tszyu: “I don’t really like Tony right now. I’m ready to fight right now. There’s no kisses and hugs happening. I’m coming to fight. There’s a dog in me right now…this is the opponent I need to show what I can do.”
This win can put Harrison back in the picture. Let’s go.
Harrison is a 6 round fighter, he better do his magic before the 7th…
I’m pulling for Tszyu. For Harrison let Charlo off the hook in their rematch. Unlike popular belief, one loss for either, isn’t the ‘end.’ SEE Holman Williams. Between 1945-46, Holman fought Archie Moore twice!! Bert Lytell, Jake LaMotta, Aaron Wade, Bob Satterfield and Marcel Cerdan ! That is an impressive streak ! Uncommon today. In addition to, several other — HIGH risk —adversaries. In the same span. Someone please whisper this in today’s uneducated talk-fast [ self—appraised ] fighters and media. Beginning with these two fighters. ©️Coach Hilario 2023
why an “interim” title when there is an active champion ugh
Boxing Historian, that’s just it….there is NOT an ACTIVE champion….only a VERY inactive fighter and his brother sitting on their belts. It’s ridiculous.
Even this close to the fight, this is still a pick em for me.
I want Tim to win but if he goes in hard with sloppy defence he may well end up on his arse !
