<\/p>\nAustralia\u2019s Tim Tszyu has explained why he won\u2019t be changing up his fighting style to mimic Hall of Famer Jeff Fench \u2013 yet could instead join \u2018The Marrickvile Mauler\u2019 as a two-division world champion.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Fox Sports Australia this week, Tszyu has also taken aim at the man he headlines against in next Sunday\u2019s Sydney blockbuster \u2013 American superstar Errol Spence Jnr \u2013 suggesting his rival thinks \u201cI\u2019m beneath him\u201d.<\/p>\n
Only a week out from the biggest fight of his career, talk has emerged of Tszyu now having the options of, in victory, fighting either Jermell Charlo, the former undisputed super welterweight king, or reigning WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara.<\/p>\n

Tszyu v Spence Jr. | Sunday July 26 from 11am AEST | Tim Tszyu takes on the biggest name in his career so far – future hall-of-famer Errol Spence Jr, in a can\u2019t miss event for boxing fans around the world. | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.<\/a><\/p>\n While nothing has been confirmed by Tszyu\u2019s promoters No Limit, both Charlo and Lara are overseen by the same promotional team who works with Spence, PBC.<\/p>\n For weeks the whisper has been that Charlo will take on the winner — and could be sitting ringside for the event with Terence Crawford.<\/p>\n Ironically, Charlo\u2019s twin brother Jermall was this week banned from entering the country to face Koen Mazoudier in the co-main, most likely due to previous dramas outside the cage. <\/p>\n Should The Phoenix continue his resurrection with an upset of Spence however, a middleweight title fight against Lara is another option. <\/p>\n As revealed earlier this week, Team Spence have made a late switch to increase the July 26 showdown to a middleweight limit of 160 pounds \u2013 which is up two pounds from the initially declared catchweight.<\/p>\n It is also a division higher than where Tszyu has campaigned for most of his career, and two divisions up from where Spence reigned before losing to Terence Crawford and disappearing from the sport for the three years. <\/p>\n Apart from Spence potentially struggling to make the catchweight after so long out, there have also been whispers that his team are of the same mindset as the likes of US boxing analyst Paulie Malignaggi, who have questioned if Tszyu has the physicality to fight, or more specifically star, at 160.<\/p>\n Spence gets warm Aussie welcome | 02:15<\/p>\n
