Tim Tszyu: The Next Big Thing in Boxing

Tim Tszyu, the son of legendary boxer Kostya Tszyu, has been making waves in the boxing world with his impressive record of 27-0 and 17 knockouts. The 26-year-old Australian is quickly becoming a household name and is now setting his sights on the biggest names in the sport.

In a recent interview with Kosport Magazine, Tszyu expressed his interest in fighting either Errol Spence Jr. or Terence Crawford next. However, he made it clear that the deciding factor for his next opponent will be the paycheck.

Tszyu’s manager, Glen Jennings, also echoed this sentiment, stating that they will carefully consider which fight will bring in the most money before making a decision.

Spence vs. Crawford: The Battle for the Bigger Payday

On paper, Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) seems to be the more lucrative option for Tszyu. He is a proven pay-per-view draw, with his only successful PPV fight being against Crawford last July. Many believe that Spence’s star power was the main reason for the success of that fight.

Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs), on the other hand, has had lackluster PPV numbers in the past. His popularity may have increased after his win over Spence, but it remains to be seen if fans are willing to pay to see him fight again.

It’s All About the Money

When asked about the possibility of vacating his WBO title, Tszyu responded, “I’m not vacating anything yet.” He also expressed his interest in fighting both Spence and Crawford, but ultimately, it will come down to which fight makes more business sense.

Tszyu’s willingness to fight anyone, regardless of their name or credentials, shows his determination to make a name for himself in the sport. He even took a fight against Sebastian Fundora on just 12 days’ notice, proving that he is not afraid to take on any challenge.

Spence vs. Tszyu: A Match Made in Dallas?

Tszyu has made it clear that he is willing to fight Spence in Dallas, the hometown of the unified welterweight champion. This would be a huge opportunity for Tszyu to showcase his skills on a big stage and potentially dethrone one of the top names in the division.

But with Crawford also in the mix, it remains to be seen which fight Tszyu will ultimately choose. One thing is for sure, though, the money will play a significant role in his decision.

The Next Chapter in Tszyu’s Legacy

Tim Tszyu is determined to make a name for himself in the boxing world, and he is well on his way to doing so. With his impressive record and willingness to take on any challenge, he is quickly becoming the next big thing in the sport.

As for his next opponent, only time will tell. But one thing is certain, Tszyu will continue to make headlines and prove that he is a force to be reckoned with in the ring. Stay tuned for more updates on this rising star in the world of boxing.
