Jermell Charlo vs. Tim Tszyu on January 28th

A fight of distinction on January 28th between Jermell Charlo and Tim Tszyu for the glittering prize of the undisputed 154-pound championship.

Jermell is coming off a thrilling tiebreaker against Argentine Brian Castaño (17-1-2, 12 KOs).

In this fight, both warriors went all out and flat out from the first bell and it was a sizzler. Castaño tried to stick to the task at hand, but Charlo used the leverage and was more versatile, successfully counterpunching. The sustained pressure paid dividends, because a few seconds before the end of the tenth round he stopped the Argentine.

Jermell Charlo is 32 years old, and has built an extraordinary record of 35 wins with 19 KO’s, 1 draw and 1 loss.

Tim Tszyu, son of the legend Koztya Tszyu, will come to this commitment at 28 years of age, with an undefeated record of 21 victories and 15 KO’s. These exceptional fighters went to the first press conference brimming with confidence, and they didn`t hold back in being forward.

Tim Tszyu

“I’ve been eying this fight out for two years now. It’s been in the back of my mind. I’ve been looking, studying, and obsessing over it. There were four different options that he had to fight, and I was pushing for it. This is the fight that I want. This is the test that I need for my career. I don’t need some young world champion.

“I always wanted you because I always felt you were the best out there. This is it for me.”

Jermell Charlo

“Of course, every fighter gets in the ring to make a performance of their lifetime. If he studied me, he’d realize that I’ve never the same fighter with every fight. I’m different.

“I don’t care what you studied of my old fights and what you’ve seen on Youtube and what you’ve seen in these videos. I know how to adjust and make adjustments real precisely.

I take care of myself and my brain and my body and how I float through every fight and every round. I have power in both hands. That’s not what I focus on. I focus on speed, ability, agility and athleticism. There’s so much within this pedigree.

“I grew up fighting my whole life. Y’all talking about his daddy [Kostya Tszyu] and all this stuff. My dad was a boxer himself.”
