Ortiz on the fight with Tszyu: "It's going to be World War III."

Unbeaten American boxer Virgil Ortiz Jr. has spoken out about his upcoming fight against Australian Tim Tszyu, scheduled for August 4 in Los Angeles. At stake will be the interim WBA featherweight belt.

"I don't think I have fast hands. But I have a high fight IQ. People think I'm kicking forward. But that's their business, I don't care. My strongest quality is improvisation. Yeah, I already know how my fight against Tim's gonna go. It's going to be World War III, but it's going to be technical. We won't just "throw soldiers into battle", we'll use tactics.

It's going to be a tough fight, the outcome of which is hard to predict. We'll study Tszyu, we'll understand what we need to work on. I'm excited about this fight," Ortiz said in an interview with Sean Zittel.
