Tim Tszyu will get the chance to become a two-time world champion against an opponent he has long wanted to meet in the ring.
The International Boxing Federation have officially ordered super-welterweight champion Murtazaliev to defend his world title against Tszyu, although a date and venue are yet to be determined. Negotiations between Tszyu’s promoter, No Limit Boxing, and Murtazaliev’s team will now commence.
“ a world champion for a reason, and in this level you’ve just got to take them all out one by one. And they all will fall, so I’m looking forward to this challenge wherever it is. It’s been a long time coming.” “I’ve had my eyes on him and it’s good that he’s got the title now and been mandated so he can’t be hiding any more.“Being a shot caller again and controlling the narrative, that’s what you get with being a world champion. It’s my second opportunity to get back to where I belong and to control the narrative and to choose my shots.”
“I’m currently grinding in Vegas and I’m working with the UFC guys and they’ve been so strict down there,” Tszyu said.
