Tim Tszyu sparred with Manny Pacquiao after his loss against Jeff Horn. There were few kind words for Horn.
Jeff Horn has been branded "fake" and "irrelevant" by Tim Tszyu ahead of their Aussie superfight on Wednesday.
Tszyu, son of the legendary Kostya Tszyu, poured more fuel on his roaring rivalry with Horn in a blunt discussion withwill come to a head in Townsville, where the junior middleweights will fight a WBO world title eliminator."He's very competitive, he's a good fighter and he's achieved a lot," Tszyu said."I couldn't care less [what Horn says]. I'm a professional athlete. Growing up with a dad like that, I'm super proud of what he did.
A flare-up in tensions occurred when one of Horn's trainers, Dundee Kim, walked out on the former welterweight world champion andTszyu said while he only trained one session with Kim, the switch of camps spoke volumes about Horn."It's got nothing to do with me, it's got something to do with him. His sponsors, Dundee, people that support me, appreciate me more than him. I think that's his issue against me.
"He didn't actually approach the fight with hunger, he thought it would have been a walkover. He didn't really train as hard, just didn't take it seriously. "You can't take anything away from Jeff for fighting Crawford. Crawford I consider the No.1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world," Tszyu said.
