Undefeated junior middleweight star Tim Tszyu is mulling the possibility of facing both Charlo brothers.
Tszyu is on track to face Jermell Charlo, who is the reigning undisputed world champion at junior middleweight with the IBF, WBC, WBA and WBO titles around his waist.
Their mandatory fight is scheduled to land on January 28 in Las Vegas.
At some point, Tszyu is planning to move up to the middleweight limit of 160 – where twin brother Jermall Charlo is the WBC world champion.
“I might get his big brother later on,” Tszyu told the Sun-Herald. “There’s one official Charlo [Jermall] and he [Jermell] calls himself the ‘Twin Charlo’. He’s the sh!tter version.
“He’s achieved more than his brother by winning the undisputed, but it’s a bit of a concern when you put yourself as the twin. They are both the same, they have the same characteristics. One is a little bit bigger, that’s it. We’ll see. Right now I’m focused solely on the younger one.”
Regarding the possible scenario of being the man to unseat both Charlos, Tszyu stated – “That would be cool man, that would be pretty cool. One night. Why not?”
Tszyu’s manager, Glen Jennings, said the possibility of his boxer facing both Charlo brothers was not out of the question.
“He can go twice,” Jennings said. “We would be a mug of a team if we didn’t chat about future stuff like that as well. We’re really excited for whatever the future brings and wherever we end up landing. We briefly glanced at that. You can see that at 27, Tim is getting bigger, more mature.
“He’s going to keep growing. The logical choice at some stage – and yes, we’d like to do a few defenses, maybe one here and one over there – but middleweights are the next attraction. The middleweights are a great class and that’s another challenge. Whilst we breezed over [Jermall Charlo] in discussions, it doesn’t change the fact that we’ve got a job with little Charlo yet.”
