MOSCOW, October 15 World champion title holder according to the World Boxing organization (WBO) junior middleweight, Australian Tim Tszyu said that he did not even come close to the achievements of his father and former absolute world champion Konstantin Tszyu.
On Sunday, Tszyu defeated American Brian Mendoza and defended his world title for the first time. The WBO belt went to the Australian without a fight: Charlo took on the Mexican Saul Alvarez (lost by unanimous decision) and, at the start of the confrontation, was stripped of the title for refusing to defend the belt in the fight with Tszyu.
“»I don't consider myself the greatest, not yet. It would be disrespectful if I did. I'm a realist. Even winning the championship belt, I didn't come close to what my father did. He became three times world champion in 10 years. No one else has done this. Dad and Jeff Fenech are the two best boxers for me. For me, they are immortal. Of course, I still have a lot to learn, but I, too, am on the way to immortality,» Tim Tszyu quotes from the press conference after the fight Fight Hub TV.
