My first goal, of course, is undisputed Tim Tszyu plans to become world heavyweight championWell, that’s all I’m looking for. But then, my mind will take me to another place. Even for weights.
“I will fight [two-time former unified world heavyweight champion] Anthony Joshua. I’m going to hit Joshua with some physical shots, let’s see how he reacts to that.”
“I will slap [Anthony] Joshua with some physical shots, let’s see how he reacts to that.”
Tim Tszyu on the prospect of fighting as a heavyweight.
Tszyu recently completed a training camp in Thailand, where he worked with John Hutchinson, coach of several rising UFC stars. The Soul Taker has fully recovered from his hand surgeries and has three months to reach peak condition in his fight with Charlo.
“We worked on a lot of strength and were physically strong,” Tszyu said of his time in Thailand.

“I don’t want this fight to go too far. I plan to bring him down before the 12th round.
“This is no bullshit guy, you get this once in a lifetime opportunity. You can win world titles in the divisions, but to be undisputed in the era of the quadruple belt, it doesn’t happen often, it has only happened seven times in the history of boxing.
“This is the NFL Super Bowl, the NBA playoffs, the last winning shot, and the whistling beater. This is the final of the World Cup. This is not just the biggest moment in boxing but in the sport.
“It’s huge, it doesn’t get any better.”
Fellow Australian George Camposos Jr. failed in his quest to become the undisputed champion, losing his second match against Devin Haney in Melbourne. If Tszyu achieves this feat, he will surpass his father Kostya.

“At that time there was no four belt era, he did so in the three belt era,” Tszyu said.
“What my dad did, he didn’t just win it… then he defended it 20 times.
“One thing is to win it, the other is to do another thing in history. We are here to make history, to create special sporting moments, not just boxing moments.”
