Ahead of the biggest fight of his career against Tony Harrison this weekend, Tim Tszyu has once again been dragged into a war of words with Errol Spence.
Tszyu was originally slated to face Jermell Charlo at the beginning of the year but with the Texan withdrawing due to injury, Tszyu will instead face the challenge of Harrison.
The Detroit star has a superb body of work at 154lbs, and he represents a stern test for Tszyu, who is the darling of Australian boxing.
Despite Tszyu’s lofty ambitions, Spence is very much of the belief that it’ll be Harrison who’ll be victorious, and he took to Twitter recently to declare he’d be betting on his fellow American.
“The guy’s a punk,” said Tszyu when speaking to Fox Sport Australia ahead of his imminent encounter with Harrison.
“Remember, this is the same person who also said Terrell Gausha was going to beat me in my last fight too. So what happened there Errol?
“I’ve never said anything bad about the bloke whatsoever, but for some reason, he just doesn’t like me. He’s Team America, I guess that’s how they are. These punks, they will all be put on notice. I’ve got a long future ahead of me and I’ll pin-point all of them one by one.”
