Former world boxing champion Grigory Drozd gave advice Tim Tszyu who has already defended his WBO junior middleweight title.
On Sunday night, Tszyu defeated American Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision in Sydney to defend his WBO junior middleweight title for the first time.
– The only point: for Tszyu Jr., in the coming years, it is of vital importance to meet top-class opponents. Loud and sonorous fights are necessary to reach an even higher level. And then no one will remember who the son Timothy is. Mendoza became one of the first truly strong counterparts of his career. And it’s important that we saw a quality fight, even if it wasn’t easy for the Australian. But the main thing is that he faced the American. Tszyu Jr. is definitely on the rise now,” RT quoted Lebedev as saying.
Tim Tszyu is the son of former absolute junior welterweight champion Konstantin Tszyu. The 28-year-old boxer has 24 victories in the professional ring (17 by KO). Tim Tszyu has spent all but one fight in Australia. For Mendoza, 29, this defeat is the third of his career; he also has 22 victories (16 by KO).
