Roy Jones, former world champion, shared his opinion of Tim Tszyu, the current WBO Welterweight champion of the world, ahead of his fight with Keith Thurman.

"I like Thurman, a great fighter. But I don't know how he's going to look at interim featherweight. If Keith delivers his punches, he'll be a problem. But Tim Tszyu is a different breed of boxer. He's special. He reminds me a lot of his father Kostya Tszyu. His father was special too, even before his worldwide popularity. I met Kostya at the Goodwill Games in 1986. And even then I knew he was special. His son is the same," Jones said in an interview with Boxing Social.
