Tim Tszyu hopes to line up Jermell Charlo as his next opponent, but was surprised by his efforts against Canelo Alvarez.
At the end of last month, Charlo moved up two divisions to fight the Mexican but was comprehensively beaten, and it is not yet clear if the American will choose to defend his remaining three belts.
Australian Tszyu is the WBO champion after Charlo was stripped of the belt when his most recent fight, against Canelo, got underway.
However he remains the IBF, WBA and WBC champion so any match-up between the pair would crown the undisputed champion at 154lbs.
First of all, Tszyu faces Brian Mendoza, the WBC interim champion on Saturday in Australia, but then he hopes Charlo comes back down.
“If he comes back to 154, certainly, man, certainly,” Tszyu told BoxingScene.com. “He’s the champ, number one, and I’ll be right behind him. So, if he decides to move away from the division, then I guess I’m the top dog in that division.
“For me, personally, I wanna beat him because he’s the bloke that I’ve wanted for a long time,” Tszyu said. “And I’ve been mandated to fight him, I’ve been going up the ranks, chasing him. That’s the fight that I want, you know? I don’t care about the belts or whatever. I’m going for the name Charlo and that’s all I’ve wanted in my career, at the moment.”
