“World-class this boy is coming from Australia, I love something new. They say you come from down under. And I am trying to put you under, mate,” Thurman continued. And since Tszyu helped Manny Pacquiao prepare for Thurman in 2019, ‘One Time’ said, “Tim Tszyu, he’s been there with Manny, he’s seen certain things. But, I know he might have signed that contract, but, boy don’t know what you just did. Bitter for you and sweet for me.”
In this context, it must be mentioned that Pacquiao handed Thurman his only defeat in pro boxing. Anyway, ‘One Time’ continued to address his haters and claim he would dominate Tim on March 30th in the ring.
