WBA Asia junior middleweight champion and 2021 world champion Vadim Musaev told that the level of boxing Tim Tszyu does not reach the next level.
In mid-October in Orlando (Florida, USA), Australian representative Tszyu lost to IBF junior middleweight champion Russian Bahram Murtazaliev by technical knockout in the third round. Tszyu lost early for the first time and suffered the second defeat of his career. In March 2024, the boxer lost to Sebastian Fundora by split decision and lost the WBO belt. Murtazaliev remains undefeated, with 23 victories to his name.
— I don’t know Bakhram personally, but I liked his fight. I said earlier that Tim Tszyu has no serious opponents yet, and now the first opponent already has the belt. And here is the result.
– Based on your words, we can conclude that Tim Tszyu does not reach the top.
– Yes. I agree with this. He continues his second consecutive defeat. And Tim’s level of boxing is such that it’s a bit difficult for him. Now the main thing for him is to recover well. And after that fight, Bahram became a star. He has great prospects. He is a champion who already has an efficient defense.
—Are Terence Crawford and Errol Spence on the horizon?
— These fights still need to be coordinated. Crawford wants to fight (WBO and WBC champion) Sebastian Fundora. So Bakhram can defend himself and rise even higher,” Musaev told .
