Tim Tszyu just notched his very first WBO junior middleweight world title defense via a unanimous decision over Brian Mendoza.
But the victorious Australian fighter didn't bother reveling in the win. Instead, he made sure to use Sunday's stage at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach, Queensland, Australia to call out the unified 154-pound ruler.
"[Jermell] Charlo ... where you at?" Tszyu said in the ring, as reported by Showtime, while staring into the camera. "Where you at, buddy?"
He added: "He'll probably, in his delusional head, he's probably saying that he's going to beat me. Come get it. Come get it."
To that latter end, Tszyu fully believes that Charlo will accept his challenge.
"Yeah, for sure, he fought Canelo — the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world," Tszyu tacked on. "[Charlo] is the best 154, but let's prove to everyone who is really the king of the division."
Last month, Charlo forewent his mandatory challenge from Tszyu to move up two weight classes and fight Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds. That made the WBO promote Tszyu from its interim titleholder to world champ, negating Charlo's undisputed stronghold on the division.
Alvarez defeated Charlo soundly, though Charlo maintains the lion's share of the 154-pound landscape as he holds the WBC, WBA and IBF titles to Tszyu's WBO strap.
A clash between Charlo and Tszyu would be for undisputed glory.
