Tim Tszyu’s workmanlike performance saw him easily breeze past Denis Nurja on Sunday, April 5 (local time) with unanimous scores of 100-88 during a middleweight fight in Australia.
The victory, his second in succession following a brutal knockout loss to Sebastian Fundora, aired as a PBC on Prime Video event and further maneuvers the 160-pound debutante toward a clash against popular American prizefighter Errol Spence Jr.
“I think me and Errol Spence would be one helluva fight,” he told Ben Damon on-air following his win.
Spence is yet to fight since his one-sided knockout loss to Terence Crawford in one of the welterweight division’s all-time great thrashings, but has been linked with a comeback this summer.
“It’s a banger.”
“You know how I am — I don’t take a backward step. So if he wants to meet me at the front, bring it on,” he said.
In a direct message to Spence, Tszyu added: “You know what they say, catch the big fish. Let’s go fishing.”
