Tim Tszyu Exclusive Interview

Fightnews.com caught up with junior middleweight champ Tim Tszyu as he prepares to face former two-time world champion Keith "One Time" Thurman on Sat, Mar 30th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and the big boxing launch of Amazon Prime. Tszyu talked about growing up as the son of a legend and hall of famer, Kostya Tszyu. He talked about the verbal sparring with Thurman and predicted a KO. Tszyu gave his thoughts on Garcia-Haney and shared a desire to still fight Charlo and potential matchups with Spence, Crawford and Ortiz Jr at 154. He also dove into Paul-Tyson and the AJ knockout of Ngannou and much more in this exclusive interview.

Tszyu always locked in, freaky calm & mad focused. A trainers dream.

[@carldacrochunter]

Humble to the core ! Just like his old man 🇦🇺🫡🍻

[@allanhudson9956]

Can’t but help wish him the best and all success well deserved and hard earned!

[@DaleHolmes1985]

Legend. I’m anxious each Tim fight and he just gets better.

[@billwilliams9362]

Yes

[@AZ.BOT.]

I know what you mean, I'm always nervous going into a Tszyu fight, i'm too emotionally invested in Tim and Nikita as I was with Kostya.

[@DaleHolmes1985]

@@AZ.BOT. haha I get ya. I was same with kostya. Every fight seemed harder and he just kept winning and getting better. I truly think Tim can beat anyone atm though

[@PeakPBD]

That's great to see someone who's not afraid to fight. Seems like the other boys in the division are trying to get money without getting hurt.

[@healthyliving7226]

I think it's a case of thurman needing a fight.

Great interview.

[@normanmoffatt9707]

When Tim moves up in weight his brother takes over the 154.

[@KuttyJoe]

Tszyu is not beating the top guy sat 154.

[@barrybarnes96]

The belts don't mean squat to me. I know who the real champs are. Tszyu's a real one.

[@sandy7938]

Team Tszyu 👍🥊🇦🇺

[@markmywordz]

Tim in 2 😊

Tszyu in 2 there now it rhymes so it’s more legit

[@paulbrennan3091]

Great Interview,best yet i have seen ! Go Champ ,all the very best Tim , from the North Coast of N.S.W !

[@GreenDistantStar]

Tim is as economical and accurate with his words as he is with his punches. When you combine his physical attributes with his mental approach and literal boxing DNA, you can see what a formidable opponent he is for anyone who steps in the ring with him. After Thurman, maybe Crawford? Crawford is at the tail-end of his career, and would face Tim in his prime this year or next. It just might be that Tim runs through everyone he faces, he's that good.

[@JD-re3cj]

You know Tim isn’t lying when he says he’d fight any of these guys. Tim ‘can do’ Tszyu 👍👊

[@tc8327]

Let's face it, Tim is fighting Thurman to get his name out there.

[@jxob]

He's fighting Thurman because everyone else is ducking him. The only other guy who's interested is Bud - that will be a cracking fight

[@JD-re3cj]

When the fight got announced i thought well that’s random af but it’s a great move from team Tszyu. I think they’ve timed this perfectly and it will make Tszyu very well known

[@user-xj8et1uw2u]

Thank You.

[@benjamingodfrey2244]

Go tim ,watched his dad allways ,Im a Aussie to, cant wait to see how far he goes ,I think he is going to be better than his dad ,He has better defence ,Kosta had his hands down to much and didnt defend as much as tim does ,but dosnt have Kosta's power ,yet

[@healthyliving7226]

Kostya Was more fun to watch. Tim Is more of a slugger

[@williamallen7386]

Spence a throwback fighter, lol. Give me a effing break! I'm glad Tim called him out on that ridiculous nonsense.

[@LuisA-wq7dx]

Too cocky...thinks too highly of himself as he should...but hasn't been tested yet

[@Scuba-itis]

How is he cocky? Difference between cocky and confidence

[@thesaltytravellers2869]

Big difference, I have never heard anyone call him cocky !!!! If you don’t like him then just say it, but don’t go looking for things that just aren’t there.
