Tim Tszyu’s Rematch Clause: A Chance for Redemption or a Disappointment for Fans?

Tim Tszyu has a chance to activate his rematch clause and potentially secure a second fight with WBC/WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora. This opportunity comes after Tszyu’s loss to Fundora last Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Despite suffering a deep scalp cut during the fight, many believe that Tszyu’s injury did not significantly impact the outcome. Fans and critics alike argue that Tszyu simply could not keep up with Fundora’s high work rate.

But is a rematch what fans really want to see? Many would prefer to see Fundora take on top names like Errol Spence or Terence Crawford, rather than watch Tszyu get a second chance after a disappointing loss.

While Spence has hinted at being Fundora’s next opponent, it ultimately falls on Tszyu to decide if he wants to activate his rematch clause. However, a second fight between Tszyu and Fundora may not generate the same level of interest as a fight against a different opponent.

Furthermore, Tszyu’s injury could complicate a potential rematch. If it takes a significant amount of time for him to recover, it would not be fair to Fundora or the fans to wait for Tszyu to heal before running it back.

Even before the injury, Tszyu was struggling to keep up with Fundora’s height and reach advantage. It’s likely that Fundora would have still emerged victorious even without the cut.

So what is the ideal scenario? One option could be for Tszyu’s team to postpone the rematch and wait for Fundora to face Spence or Crawford. This would not only give fans a more exciting matchup, but also allow Tszyu’s injury to fully heal.

Kosport Magazine’s Take

While a rematch between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora may seem like the most logical next step, it may not be the most appealing option for fans. With top names like Errol Spence and Terence Crawford in the mix, a rematch may not generate the same level of interest. Additionally, Tszyu’s injury could complicate things and potentially delay the rematch. It may be in everyone’s best interest to wait for Fundora to face a top opponent before revisiting a rematch with Tszyu. Only time will tell what the future holds for these two talented fighters.
