Tim Tszyu’s latest opponent has labelled himself a “killer”, declaring he is determined to pull off a third massive upset in a row against the Aussie boxing star.
American Brian Mendoza takes on Tszyu on the Gold Coast on Sunday in what is expected to be Tszyu’s last fight on Australian soil before he chases superfights in the US.After impressive wins over Tony Harrison and Carlos Ocampo this year, Tszyu is once again a strong favourite to beat Mendoza and defend his WBO super welterweight title against the interim WBC champion.
“I do look for the knockout and I do want to put on a big show. But I’m in there to put punishment on you for 12 rounds. “From losses, I have a bigger chip on my shoulder. I have more to prove each time out. I’m always hungry,” he said.“I want to take out everyone in my division as well. It’s part of the game.”
“I think the reason I’ve been resonating with people is because I’m real. I’m myself, this is who you’re going to see on and off camera.
