Tim Tszyu has been given the cruel news he will not get a re-match with Sebastian Fundora.
Tim Tszyu was left covered in blood in his world title defeat — but the biggest blow was delivered by officials hours after the fight.That is if the new WBC and WBO world champion follows a demand from officials to defend his belts against pound for pound king Terence Crawford.
It leaves Tszyu’s future at a crossroads, likely needing to pivot towards another fight before getting a chance to win his belts back. “I want to fight the best, I want to make the mega fights happen,” Tszyu said in his post-fight press conference.There has been widespread anger from across the boxing world since it emerged Tszyu may be snubbed of a chance to get his revenge against Fundora.
“I believe the promoter needs to maximize the interest of the fighter … first we need to take care of business,” Fundora’s manager Sampson Lewkowicz said.
