Boxing legend Jeff Fenech says Tim Tszyu doesn't have the punching power of his famous dad. Yet that hasn't stopped him from making a remarkable call when comparing them! 🤯 9WWOS
It's a tough gig though. While a famous last name is a promoter's dream and in many instances holds the key to a fat cheque, it also brings in a different type of audience, drawn in on a tabloid level. With that comes more eyes, critics and pressure and a different type of celebrity outside the sporting landscape.
"I'll make a big statement, this kid could be better," boxing great Jeff Fenech told Wide World of Sports. While Tim went through Australian opponents for his entire career, Kostya came through the highly competitive European system before settling Down Under. Kostya won gold at the 1991 world championships in Australia and was tipped to take out gold at the Barcelona Olympics a year later.
Rather than point out where they differ, Fenech believes the paying public will only have positive comparisons to draw upon once the big fights for Tszyu roll around."He's got his father's poise. His patience. That's something you can't teach. It's about having that awareness in the ring. No doubt his father has helped shape the fighter he is but Tim is his own fighter. Plus they look like f---ing twins," Fenech said.
