Two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov told that Tim Tszyu Unlike his father, Konstantin enjoys great support throughout his professional career.
Tszyu Jr. will make his first defense of the WBO super middleweight belt against WBC interim champion Brian Mendoza on October 15 in Sydney.
— We will support Tim, he is Russian, the son of our friend Konstantin. His style is genetically similar to his father, Kostya stands in front of his eyes, shows him some tips, tricks, etc., helps him a lot. But my father was more of a predator in the ring, a seasoned one. Tim copies certain things, because his father was always in front of his eyes.
— Will Tim be able to surpass his father’s achievements in the future?
– It is complicated. Kostya is a very strong boxer, especially mentally, he went through everything from the bottom, from a simple family, there was no support. There was no one to guide him. Going through all the circles of hell gives you strength. Timofey is still managed by his father and his promoters. But anything can happen in life,” Saitov told .
Tim Tszyu leads the world ranking of junior middleweight boxers on the BoxRec portal, Mendoza is third. Tim’s father, Konstantin Tszyu, is a former undisputed world champion in the junior welterweight division.
