Tim Tszyu Open to Facing All Comers, Including Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford
In the lead-up to his highly anticipated showdown with Sebastian Fundora for the WBC and WBO Super-Welterweight titles on March 30th, Tim Tszyu has sent shockwaves through the boxing world by declaring his willingness to take on any challenger, including the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr., and Jaron Ennis.
Originally slated to face Keith Thurman, Tszyu’s plans were altered when Thurman withdrew due to a biceps injury. Now, the Australian powerhouse is set to square off against Fundora, a towering opponent who stands seven inches taller than Tszyu himself. Despite the looming battle against Fundora, Tszyu’s sights are already set on future opponents, with his manager Glen Jennings teasing potential blockbuster matchups that could redefine Australian boxing history.
Tszyu’s openness to facing elite competition reflects his fearless mentality and unwavering confidence in his abilities. Following his victory over Brian Mendoza last year, Tszyu expressed his admiration for Canelo Alvarez, viewing a potential bout with the Mexican superstar as a privilege and an honor. Now, with Terence Crawford’s name entering the conversation, Tszyu sees another opportunity to make history, with Jennings predicting a record-breaking payday for both fighters.
“I fear no one. And I’ll take on every challenge possible,” Tim Tszyu added. On being asked if he would like to face Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford, the Australian boxer said, “Yeah, I’ll take them all, bro. I don’t back from no one. Crawford’s the man, I would love to take on a challenge like that.”
At this, Tszyu was asked how he felt about facing Jaron Ennis, the IBF Interim Welterweight champion. To which, he added, “Who? ‘Boots’? 100% Everyone, bro. Honestly, I don’t want to be this fighter that picks and chooses, man. I’ll fight everyone.”
In a recent interview with FightHype, Tszyu left no doubt about his willingness to take on all challengers, declaring, “Anyone can get it. I’m ready for anyone.” When asked specifically about facing Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr., Tszyu didn’t hesitate to accept the challenge, showcasing his warrior spirit and determination to prove himself against the best in the world.
Even the prospect of facing Jaron Ennis, the IBF Interim Welterweight champion, didn’t faze Tszyu, who expressed his readiness to confront any opponent thrown his way. For Tszyu, picking and choosing opponents is not an option; he is prepared to face everyone, regardless of their stature or reputation.
While Tszyu’s ambition is commendable, Mayweather Promotions’ CEO has warned against overlooking Sebastian Fundora, labeling it as “beyond disrespectful.” Despite the excitement surrounding potential matchups with Crawford and others, Tszyu remains focused on the task at hand, determined to deliver a memorable performance in Las Vegas.
As the countdown to Tszyu vs. Fundora continues, the boxing world eagerly awaits the outcome, with fans speculating about what the future holds for the Australian sensation. With Tszyu’s willingness to take on all challengers, the possibilities are endless, and the stage is set for some truly epic showdowns in the world of boxing.
