In an exclusive interview with Telecomasia.net, IBF world champion Bakhram Murtazaliev stated that Tim Tszyu is ready to fight Keith Thurman following his victory over Joseph Spencer.
This is a good fight after two losses, a sensible choice of opponent. The opponent isn’t a ‘punching bag’, in any case. Tim needed to get through him, and he did that. Has he improved? It all depends on the opponent. He will defeat Keith Thurman too. In any case, he did great to bounce back quickly and did well in his last fight.
