Charlo: "Tszyu will not withstand my blows"

"He won't stand my blows," I'm sure Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs), undisputed middleweight champion. On Saturday night Tim Tszyu (22-0, 16 KOs) won ahead of schedule Tony Harrison and won a temporary WBO belt.

The American was obliged to fight the Australian as a mandatory challenger from the World Boxing Organization. Due to health reasons, he could not do this, so the Organization authorities appointed a fight for the belt in an intermediate version. Tszyu won, he is still a contender for Charlo, but now he has the best starting position in a possible promoter tender.

“Tim looked good against Harrison, but my style and my strength are on a completely different level. The rehabilitation of my left arm is going very well, it will be stronger than ever. By the end of summer, I will be ready,” the absolute champion in the 69.85 kg limit assures.

“Tszyu is moving forward, he is big and strong, but at the same time slow. I am a different beast than everyone else, and if he wants to compete with me, he will definitely have to show something more. I have excellent boxing skills and the strength to shock anyone. That's why I have four belts," Charlo added.
