Tim Tszyu after an early victory over Tony Harrison by technical knockout in the ninth round on Sunday in Sydney, said he expects undisputed middleweight champion Jermell Charlo to be his next opponent. “You know what's next. You know who's next. I'm going. I'm going to Las Vegas, I'm going to America!" - said Tim Tszyu after winning the interim WBO title.
It is worth noting that Charlo himself, who commented on this fight for the American audience, stated that he was surprised by the lack of resistance from Harrison, and that he did not see anything in Tszyu that he did not expect from him. Charlo also categorically rejected the option of his fight with Tszyu in Australia.
Charlo and Tszyu were supposed to fight on January 28 in Las Vegas, but the day before, the American was injured in his left hand during sparring. Charlo before the start of the Tszyu-Harrison fight said that his recovery was on schedule and that he expected to enter the ring before the end of the summer.
