American challenger Brian Mendoza has promised to spoil Tim Tszyu’s plans to become “the face of boxing worldwide” as the duo prepare to face off on Sunday.
The fight with Mendoza shapes as Tszyu’s final one before heading overseas as the Australian plans to brush a long-awaited bout with Jermell Charlo.

Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza face off! | 25:02
Instead, No Limit CEO George Rose revealed exclusively to foxsports.com.au earlier in the week that Errol Spence Jr., Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez are “next” in Tszyu’s sights should he get past Mendoza.
Should being the operative word there because first the Australian has to get through Sunday’s fight and on Friday Tszyu will face off with Mendoza, except this time the pair will be trading verbal jabs at the official press conference.
The pair already sat down earlier in the week for a ‘Face Off’ interview hosted by Main Event’s Ben Damon, where things started to heat up later in the piece.
Stay tuned for full updates from Friday’s official press conference!
