On March 30th, Tim Tszyu will face Sebastian Fundora for the WBC and WBO Super-Welterweight titles in Las Vegas. Although Tszyu initially expected to return against Keith Thurman, ‘One Time’ pulled out because of a biceps injury. As a result, ‘The Soul Taker’ will now square off against ‘The Towering Inferno’ who is 7 inches taller than the current WBO Super-Welterweight champ!
But, even though the boxing world is yet to witness the outcome of Tszyu vs. Fundora, it is busy wondering about Tim’s next fight in the ring. Therefore, ‘The Soul Taker’ declared he was open to fighting Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford, Errol Spence Jr., and Jaron Ennis!

In October last year, following his UD victory over Brian Mendoza, Tim Tszyu had said that if he could fight Canelo Alvarez it would be a matter of privilege and honor. On the other hand, ahead of Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora, Terence Crawford’s name has now been linked with ‘The Soul Taker’. On that note, speaking to Fox Sports, Tszyu’s manager Glen Jennings said Crawford vs. Tszyu could be the highest-grossing fight in Australian boxing history, generating a potential figure of $38 Million. In this connection, Tszyu told FightHype, “Anyone can get it. I’m ready for anyone.”

Crawford’s the man, I would love to take on a challenge like that.”
At this, Tszyu was asked how he felt about facing Jaron Ennis, the IBF Interim Welterweight champion. To which, he added, “Who? ‘Boots’? 100% Everyone, bro. Honestly, I don’t want to be this fighter that picks and chooses, man. I’ll fight everyone.”
