Tszyu wants rematch after cruel Fundora defeat
Tim Tszyu is determined to seek redemption after his heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Sebastian Fundora in Las Vegas. The Australian boxer, who suffered his first loss in 25 fights, is eager to enact a rematch clause to face Fundora once again and reclaim his world title.
Tszyu’s plans for global boxing domination were put on hold as Fundora emerged victorious in a split decision, leaving Tszyu without his WBO super welterweight belt and missing out on a chance to claim the vacant WBC strap at T-Mobile Arena. Despite the setback, Tszyu remains undeterred and is ready to step back into the ring for a shot at redemption.
The fight took a turn for the worse for Tszyu at the end of the second round when he walked into Fundora’s elbow, resulting in a severe cut on his head that impaired his vision for the remainder of the match. Despite the challenges, Tszyu showed resilience and determination throughout the fight, earning praise for his warrior spirit.
Although Tszyu acknowledged Fundora’s skills and the difficulties posed by his height advantage and southpaw stance, he expressed no regrets about taking on the challenge at short notice. In a post-fight press conference with blood still dripping down his face despite receiving 10 stitches, Tszyu stated, “A bit of blood never killed nobody. It was a good war and I started off well.”
Following his defeat, Tszyu has set his sights on a rematch with Fundora to recapture his world title and prove his mettle once again. Despite the potential for a mega-fight against boxing stars like Terence Crawford or Errol Spence Jr, Tszyu’s immediate focus is on avenging his loss and reclaiming his status as a world-class boxer.
With a rematch clause in place, Tszyu’s promoter George Rose is confident that they can secure a second bout with Fundora. Despite Fundora’s newfound status as a unified world champion, Tszyu remains determined to seize the opportunity for a rematch and prove himself in the ring once more.
As Tszyu gears up for a potential rematch with Fundora, the boxing world eagerly awaits the outcome of this highly anticipated showdown. Tszyu’s resilience and determination in the face of adversity have garnered respect and admiration from fans and critics alike, setting the stage for an epic rematch that could redefine his legacy in the sport.
