Tim Tszyu’s next opponent has been revealed with Japan’s Takeshi Inoue taking up the fight that could ultimately cost the Australian a shot at the world title. Tszyu has been mandated to fight for the WBO super welterweight world title, but will put it all on the line to take on Inoue on November 17 at a venue still to be decided. World No.7 Inoue — who is 17-1-1 with 10 wins by knockout — is confident he can make Tszyu regret his decision Tszyu vs Inoue live to step back in the ring this year instead of waiting until 2022 for a shot at titleholder Brian Castano, or Jermell Charlo. Asked in a Q&A with Fox Sports’ Ben Damon why he thought he was offered the fight, Inoue said: “Probably because among all the world-ranked boxers, they consider me a low-risk opponent. “I believe they will regret it.” He added: “I think we’ll start off exchanging jabs, then slug it out on the inside. In the later rounds, I’ll break his heart and win.
Tszyu’s camp was interested in fighting a former world champion to show that the undefeated 26-year-old is ready to take his career to the next level. Former world champion Tony Harrison was the preferred opponent and was close to signing on the dotted line, but pulled out at the last minute earlier this month, Tszyu vs Inoue live stream restarting the search for an opponent. Sebastian Fundora, Sergio Garcia and Terrell Gausha were some names floated, but the opportunity has instead gone to Tokyo’s Inoue who could prove to be a formidable opponent. The 31-year-old has only lost once in his career — and that was by decision in a title fight to Jaime Munguia who is still unbeaten, while the one bout he drew was his pro debut in 2014.
Takeshi Inoue he’s an absolute warrior,” said fight promoter from No Limit, George Rose. “He’s someone who’s going to try and bring it to Tim. Tim’s the No.1 challenger, he’s the mandatory challenger in the WBO and everyone wants a piece of that.” Tszyu wants to keep active in 2021 instead of sitting on his hands waiting for a shot at the title with Castaño not expected to fight again this year. Tszyu is confident that his risk will pay off. As a boxer, Tszyu vs Inoue live online you’ve got to prepare yourself. You’ve got to have goals and aspirations to work for,” Tszyu told Damon. “I’ve always been a fighter that likes to fight and I don’t like to sit on my arse.” He added: “It’s going to be a tough fight. I think it’s going to be the hardest fight of my career. Definitely the toughest opponent of my career. “But it’s something I was born for. “I like a bit of pressure.
At the same time, I like to punch people in the face. That’s what I do for a living, I punch people in the face and I get an enjoyment out of it.” Tszyu described Inoue as an “awkward, rugged and tough” opponent who is stylistically different to Harrison, who he had been preparing to fight. Nonetheless, Tszyu said the fight won’t go the distance. New Collingwood coach Craig McRae has spoken out on several key topics as he embarks on his first Tszyu vs Inoue live streaming season in charge of the embattled club. McRae, who was a fortnight ago unveiled as Nathan Buckley’s permanent successor, faces a big task ahead in leading the Magpies’ rebuild. Since its 2018 Grand Final appearance, Collingwood have finished fourth then sixth before its drastic fall to 17th this season.
Speaking on Fox Footy’s AFL 360 on Thursday night, McRae discussed his initial conversations with players including Scott Pendlebury, the club’s recent assistant coaching appointments, the impending acquisition of father-son prodigy Nick Daicos and off-season plans and his philosophy on the game. McRae’s first personal assignment was to spend an hour with each of the players and staff members, wanting to get the “sow right before the seed” to ensure everyone’s on the same page and ready to grow together. He’s already spoken to nearly 30 players Tszyu vs Inoue fight time and around half a dozen staff, with arguably none of those conversations more important than with champion skipper Scott Pendlebury. The out-of-contract 33-year old raised eyebrows last month when he said he’d consider departing the Holden Centre for a longer player-coaching deal elsewhere, but has since pledged his commitment to stay at the club. McRae said he’s spoken to Pendlebury about his future and reiterated that a decision around the captaincy was in the 334-gamer’s hands.
