Tim Tszyu's world title rival seemed intent on a slanging match during their press conference. The Aussie could only laugh at him.
"I'm telling you, you're the man bro. I respect you," Tszyu said to Charlo.Charlo, 32, was less friendly towards his antipodean rival, suggesting Tszyu was not up to his standard and saying there are better fighters in their weight division."I knew once I got to this point I'd have to face nothing but the top-tier guys. I don't underestimate anyone, but Tim Kazoo is not of the calibre of Jermell Charlo," the champion said.
"Yeah, your father has done some things in boxing, and we understand it's a bloodline thing, and I feel you. But my pedigree is strong, my pedigree has been proven."the same stunt during a press conference after beating Brian Castano in MayAn Australian journalist had dared mention Tszyu as a potential next opponent, immediately after Charlo had knocked out Castano.
The question prompted an angry barrage from the title-holder, who was later labelled arrogant and angry by Tszyu and his supporters.On Wednesday that episode was brought up again, and Charlo took offence."I been through humble lessons in life, I've been places and things he's never done. I'm not enjoying my fight with your Australian media asking me questions.
"I don't care about you calling me arrogant. I'm a Black man in America, that ain't easy nowhere in this country or this world.Tszyu - who could only laugh at his opponent's constant anger and confrontational attitude during the press conference - pointed out Charlo's frustration was misplaced."Don't put it back on me like I did something wrong."I agree that you're in the top 10 pound-for-pound.
