It's the rivalry that never was, until George Kambosos lost his belts and now Tim Tszyu has clapped back at the former champion. 9WWOS
will take place in a bout slated for October in Australia, the former champion had plenty to say in recent weeks after his loss, regarding Tszyu's place at the top of the PPV tree in Australia."Tim can barely get crowds to his fights in Australia.
"I don't really understand all that. I don't know if it's come from him or whoever. In the last two years we've had COVID people have been fighting in front of no one and we were able to do something," Tszyu said."In terms of the 10,000, that much at the Qudos Bank Arena that was sold out. I don't know where he's getting that from. Look you have fighters in America fighting at MGM Grand with 10,000 people.
Kambosos' unanimous decision loss to Haney reportedly garnered less that 60,000 pay-per-view buys, well short of Tszyu's record of 100,000, a feat he achieved twice against Jeff Horn and Bowyn Morgan in 2020, although the 21-0 fighter did share the card with the Paul Gallen vs Mark Hunt in the latter clash.Haney told American media he was not keen on fighting Kambosos and instead had eyes on Vasiliy Lomachenko or Gervonta Davis.
As for Kambosos' chances of pulling off the upset, Tszyu said it's possible but unlikely against a "special" fighter like Haney.
