Tim Tszyu's 2024 Opponent Watch, Potential Challengers Lining Up
As the boxing world eagerly awaits Tim Tszyu's next move in 2024, speculation runs rife with names being thrown into the ring for the Australian super welterweight's potential opponents. In his last outing on the Gold Coast in October, Tszyu secured a unanimous decision against Brian Mendoza, defending his WBO title. The 29-year-old's impressive track record includes a first-round elimination of Carlos Ocampo in June 2023 and a ninth-round stoppage of Tony Harrison in March of the same year, earning him the interim WBO belt. A much-anticipated clash with former undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo seems likely. Charlo, fresh off a defeat against Canelo Alvarez, was initially expected to face Tszyu, setting the stage for a showdown that promises fireworks. Another potential matchup could see Tszyu vying for the undisputed 154-pound title against two-division undisputed world champion Terence Crawford. With a record of 40-0, Crawford has expressed interest in mega fights, including a clash with Canelo and a rematch with Errol Spence Jr. Vergil Ortiz Jr, riding high after a first-round stoppage win against Fredrick Lawson, has also thrown his hat into the ring, expressing a desire to face Tszyu. The Australian welcomes the challenge, setting the stage for a potential blockbuster bout. The super welterweight division boasts a roster of formidable contenders, including Jesus Ramos, Josh Kelly, Erickson Lubin, Serhii Bohachuk, Charles Conwell, Xander Zayas, Bakhram Murtazaliev, and others. With the possibility of a mystery opponent always in play, the intrigue surrounding Tszyu's next opponent intensifies. Tim Tszyu is anticipated to make his 2024 ring appearance in February or March, and boxing enthusiasts worldwide are poised for an electrifying start to the year. #Tszyu2024Showdowns #WelterweightClash #BoxingSpeculations
