Former junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu believes he is ready to face either Terence Crawford or Errol Spence Jr. in a future fight.
Crawford and Spence battled at 147lbs to decide the undisputed crown at welterweight, with Crawford emerging victorious.
While a rematch could one day take place, ‘Bud’ is moving up to super welterweight, and Spence could follow him.
Tszyu had been due to fight Vergil Ortiz Jr., but the bout was cancelled as doctors believed a cut suffered in his split-decision loss to Sebastian Fundora had not sufficiently healed.
Fundora and Spence could reportedly meet to contest the WBO and WBC straps at 154lbs, and Tszyu gave an update on his own plans.
“I can definitely go straight back into a world title fight because I didn’t come out of the Fundora fight as a loser,” he said, reported Fox Sports Australia .
“The whole world knows that.
“I didn’t get bashed. Even though Fundora won, I was hurting him.
“Did you see his face after the fight? See his nose? Other than a few bruises, I was fresh.
“I just had that cut. So of course, I can still go straight back into a big fight.
“I think Spence beats Fundora and I think Crawford wins as well, but it won’t be an easy fight.
“But I honestly believe I’m the king at 154.”
