Tim Tszyu: Breaking the Mold of Modern Fighters
Tim Tszyu, the current WBO junior middleweight champion, is not afraid to speak his mind. In a recent interview with Kosport Magazine, Tszyu expressed his frustration with the laziness of modern fighters. He believes that many of them are content with settling for less and not taking risks with their careers.
But Tszyu is determined to break the mold and be a throwback fighter. He believes in hard work and is always willing to take on challenging fights to further his career. This Saturday, he will defend his title against Sebastian Fundora, and a win could lead to a potential match against Terence Crawford or Errol Spence Jr.
The Part-Timers Need a Wake-Up Call
Tszyu didn’t hold back when discussing the current state of boxing. He believes that many fighters are lazy and lack the drive to improve. “A lot of people, they remain in the same position. Yes, they’ve got talent, but they just think that they can’t get better, and you see a lot of it,” Tszyu stated in a recent interview with ESPN.
Without directly naming names, it’s clear that Tszyu is referring to high-profile fighters like Terence Crawford, who rarely fight and could be doing more with their careers. Tszyu wants to be different and is determined to continue growing and improving as a fighter.
No Time For Negotiation Games
If Tszyu wants to fight Crawford next, he knows he can’t waste time on lengthy negotiations. He wants to stay active and not fall into the trap of waiting for a big payday. “I want to be a throwback fighter; just keep it old school,” Tszyu said. He knows that time is of the essence and doesn’t want to get caught up in the slow-paced negotiations that have plagued other fighters.
But if the talks with Crawford take too long, Tszyu is prepared to move on and face other top 154-pounders like Vergil Ortiz, Erickson Lubin, or Xander Zayas. He is determined to make a name for himself and be remembered as a fighter who always took on the best.
Conclusion
Tim Tszyu is not your average modern fighter. He is determined to break the mold and be a throwback fighter who always takes on the best and never settles for less. His upcoming fight against Sebastian Fundora is just another step in his journey towards greatness. Will he be able to secure a fight against Crawford or Spence? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, Tszyu will continue to work hard and make a name for himself in the boxing world.
