Former world champion in the first heavyweight category Denis Lebedev spoke about the boxer’s fighting style Tim Tszyu .
On Sunday night, Tszyu defeated American Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision in Sydney to defend his WBO junior middleweight title for the first time.
– In terms of level of greatness, it is too early to compare my son with Tszyu Sr., since he is only at the beginning of his journey. But I love how similar their fighting style is. Sometimes there is a feeling that it was not Tim who entered the ring, but Kostya himself in his younger years. And I want to believe that he will succeed. I am sure that Timofey will do everything to compare himself with his father at least in terms of the number of belts won. And Kostya himself, I think, wants this. After all, every man raises his children in such a way that they become better than himself,” Lebedev said according to RT.
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).
