American challenger Brian Mendoza has promised to spoil Tim Tszyu’s plans to become “the face of boxing worldwide” as the duo prepare to face off on Sunday.
The fight with Mendoza shapes as Tszyu’s final one before heading overseas as the Australian plans to brush a long-awaited bout with Jermell Charlo.
Should being the operative word there because first the Australian has to get through Sunday’s fight and on Friday Tszyu faced off with Mendoza. There was a bit of feeling too.“There certainly was in that one,” News Corp’s Peter Badel said of Tszyu and Mendoza’s face-off after the press conference. Both Tszyu and Mendoza shared a level of mutual respect for each other when up on the stage but when speaking to Badel and Megan Barnard after the press conference, the Australian had a bit more to say.“He’ll be in shock about everything,” Tszyu said when asked if he could surprise Mendoza with his power.
