Tszyu’s Next Big Challenge: Facing Crawford

As the boxing world eagerly awaits this weekend’s fight between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora, the talk has already turned to what’s next for the winner. And for Tszyu, the possibility of facing pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford is a challenge that his team at No Limits would eagerly accept.

Despite the daunting task ahead of him in Fundora, Tszyu’s promoter George Rose admits that it’s hard not to be excited about the prospect of facing Crawford. “We’re big fans of what Crawford does as a fighter,” Rose said. “He’s pound-for-pound champ for a reason, and it’s a great challenge.”

But before any potential showdown with Crawford, Tszyu must first defend his WBO title and fight for WBC recognition against Fundora. And while there may be some apprehension in the Australian press pack, Rose believes that Tszyu’s fearless nature and regular activity in the ring make him more than ready for the challenge.

“Tim doesn’t like to sit around and wait for fights,” Rose said. “If there’s nothing happening in the next few months, he’ll be straight back in the ring again. He’ll be defending these two belts he wins on Saturday.”

Tszyu, who is undefeated in 24 fights with 17 stoppage victories, has quickly become the face of Australian boxing and has the support of his country behind him. And while he may have some divisive predecessors, Tszyu’s courageous and bullish nature has endeared him to fans.

For Rose, it’s all in a day’s work for Tszyu. “You ask any man in the world if they’d take Sebastian Fundora on with 12 days’ notice, any man in the world,” Rose proudly stated. “But Tim’s turned it around, 12 days’ notice, he’s now got to fight a guy who no one else would take on in that time.”

But for Rose, there is no doubt about how Saturday’s fight will play out. “I absolutely believe that Tim can beat any man,” he said. “I believe that he’s the best in the division, and any opportunity that presents itself, I always know for a fact that they will always take it – and I’ll always support him 100 per cent.”
