Jeff Horn, the only Australian to have fought boxing’s pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford, says Tim Tszyu should have “swallowed his ego” against Sebastian Fundora.
The only Australian to have set foot in the ring with Terence Crawford believes hubris may have cost Tim Tszyu his shot at boxing’s pound-for-pound king, declaring: “It’s better to be safe than sorry – and now they’re sorry.”
Horn said Tszyu, now 24-1, should have “swallowed his ego” and told his team to call it off – and though Horn admitted he probably would have done the same thing if he was in his shoes, he believed his corner would have overruled him had they been unable to stop the bleeding.“Tim’s probably too tough for his own good, but his team should have just said, ‘Hey, we can’t stop this bleeding.
Crawford is moving up a weight class after unifying the welterweight division, and posted on X after the fight on Sunday: “You lost sir gotta work yo way back up.” It was unclear if that message was directed at Tszyu, who called him out after losing, or at Spence, who he beat in his last fight almost a year ago.
“In the short term, that fight, I doubt will happen now,” Horn said. “It’s a super-fight when Tim was on top of the world, and unstoppable, and people are like, ‘Well, who’s going to beat him?’ But now Crawford’s probably thinking it doesn’t really sell now. You’re coming off a loss, people don’t really necessarily want to see that.
