Tszyu: I want to stop Charlo

By Ray Wheatley – World of Boxing

Now that WBO #1 154-pounder Tim Tszyu knows he will be challenging undisputed WBO, WBC,WBA,IBF champion Jermell Charlo in the fall, he has promised he will be in the best shape of his career.

The fight should be held in October or November, “somewhere in America, I’m hoping Vegas,” Tszyu told News.com.au. “I’ll be heading to America for maybe two months, doing my prep there, getting the best sparring and using the best facilities…I want to challenge the very best there is out there. I know I’ve got what it takes to win.”

Tim said he has a plan to beat Charlo. “Maneuver and don’t get hit,” Tszyu said. “Punch him harder. I want to stop him. I want to stop this bloke. I want to cause him pain.”

  • Lol sorry son you sound like a goofball total doofus!

    Your head is growing bigger and bigger now you believe your own silly hype.

    Charlo I going to destroy this kid really bad and send him back down under where he belongs.

  • This just feels too early for Tszyu to be in a fight at this level. But he has kept proving many people wrong, myself included. Looking forward to this.

    • Tszyu will be 28 by the time of the fight. What is too soon? What about Charlo at 32 being too late?

      • A matter not of age by maturation of skills. Although by that standard he might never be “ready” so I might agree with your ultimate conclusion.

      • Tom, you know very well what I mean. Not age but the level of competition and experience and Tszyu still being quite green vs Charlo having nearly 2x the number of fights and being in 9 world title fights already since 2016 already.

  • I just don’t think Tim is ready for that type of level fight but good luck to him

  • Tim Kazoo…lol. Could be witnessing another Erikson Lubin debacle. I just hope for a good fight, regardless of the outcome.

  • And I want all my cryptocurrencies to moon next month. Lets see if that makes the headlines. Slow day in Boxing :0

  • I am wondering what Charlo might say about this, should be fun listening his very decent vocabulary

  • “Maneuver and don’t get it,” Tszyu said.
    – He probably said maneuver and don’t get HIT.

  • I would also like to KO Charlo and become the undisputed 154 lbs. champion of the world. I just don’t think that is likely to happen

  • I’m an Aussie and follow Tim but his lack of heavy duty fights may well expose him against Charlo but he won’t die wondering…… he’ll bring it but so will Charlo !!!
