The former world champion says he is done with pre-fight talk and focused solely on July 25 in Sydney
Tim Tszyu says he has no interest in trading words with Errol Spence Jr. ahead of their July 25 fight in Sydney. The former world champion also dismissed comments from Shakur Stevenson and insisted his focus remains on the task in front of him.
“Nah, that’s all right. He talks it up and whatever. It is what it is. I’m not getting into that type of smack anymore, you know? I’m just here to cause pain,” said Tszyu to Jai McAllister Boxing.
Earlier in the interview, Tszyu said he believes he is at his best when distractions are removed, and his attention is centered entirely on boxing.
“The version? Just happy, happy. And when I’m happy, I think that’s the most dangerous part. You know, when you’re just focused on what you got to do and you don’t have these other stuff coming along around you,” said Tszyu.
He was also asked about comments from Shakur Stevenson, who recently said he hopes Spence beats him. Tszyu had a brief response for the unbeaten lightweight champion.
“It’s another one, another hater. What can you say? I actually like Shakur Stevenson, but I do rate Tank Davis better. So yeah, just do it like that,” said Tim.
The fight will be contested at a 158-pound catchweight. Jermall Charlo against Koen Mazoudier and Liam Wilson versus Stephen Fulton are also scheduled for the card.
