Tim Tszyu savagely demolished Tony Harrison with a power punching barrage en route to a ninth-round TKO on Sunday in Sydney, Australia to win the Interim WBO junior middleweight title.
However, Jermell Charlo wasn't overly impressed.
In fact, the undisputed 154-pound junior middleweight ruler let Tszyu know that he'll have to bring a whole lot more when the two clash in the near future.
"I'm a different animal in there," Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs) warned on Showtime.
"I'm a different fighter than Tony. You can't compare me and try to compare Tony's skills in boxing. He didn't dog it out. He didn't bring that dog in him. If he wanted to fight me, he'd have to bring more dog in him. But Tim is next and that's who we had before the injury so it's not like I'm not prepared already."
By "injury," Charlo is referring to his fractured left hand that he says has been healing nicely. Prior to Tszyu's win over Harrison, Charlo even shared on Showtime that he'll be ready to fight this summer. Charlo and Tszyu were originally slated to fight earlier this year before Charlo's injury derailed that plan.
After his resounding win Sunday, Tszyu (22-0, 16 KOs) didn't waste time setting his sights back on the undisputed king of the division.
"The message was sent clearly," Tszyu said in the ring in a statement aimed at Charlo.
"You know what's up. You know what's next. I'm coming to America!"
Tszyu added: "Australia you know, but the world — you know now. What's my motherf—ing name?"
Charlo reveled in the moment back in the Showtime studio.
"Man, I'm ready," he said.
"When I get my hand right and we get back in the ring for some more training, put (Tszyu) back in."
Tszyu pointed out how he demolished Harrison, who defeated Charlo in December 2018, before Charlo knocked him out a year later.
Although Charlo complimented Tszyu's pressure and power, he wasn't impressed with the Australian's speed and pace.
The two will get to prove who the top fighter at 154 pounds is when they meet.
