‘There’s no friendliness’: Tszyu rival’s frightening ‘killer’ claim as US star craves KO finis
Brian Mendoza may not be one for trash-talking in the lead-up to his fight against Tim Tszyu but insists he is “definitely a killer” once that first bell sounds.

Mendoza will look to hand Tszyu his first defeat as they collide on Sunday for the Australian star’s WBO super welterweight world title.

The American looked incredibly slick during the media workouts at Bondi Boxing Club in Waterloo as he hit the pads and showed off plenty of feints as he danced around the ring.

Speaking to the media afterwards, Mendoza was questioned as to why he hasn’t verbally poked the bear in the lead-up to the fight and if he’ll flick a switch as the fight week activities ramp up.
“We’ll see,” Mendoza said.

“I want my performances to speak for me. I’m not a trash talker and I feel like people who flip the switch a little too early or force it come off corny.

“I think the reason I’ve been resonating with people is because I’m real. I’m myself, this is who you’re going to see on and off camera.
“But on fight night, I’m definitely a killer and I’m in there to hurt my opponent. There’s no friendliness in there.”

Make no mistake, hurting opponents is something Mendoza has proven time and time again.
Of his 22 wins, 16 of those have come via KO/TKO.

His most recent victory was also one of his most vicious as Mendoza rocked Sebastian Fundora with a clean left hook before he crumpled him with a lethal right hand to claim the interim WBC super welterweight title in April.

With several highlight reel knockouts in his resume, Mendoza has certainly proven himself capable of ending an opponent’s night early.

But so too has Tszyu, who has finished both Tony Harrison and Carlos Ocampo in devastating fashion to win and defend the WBO interim super welterweight world title this year.

But the American certainly believes he is the man who packs a bigger punch than his rival.

“That’s based off the resume and what I’ve done,” Mendoza said.

“I have more one-punch knockouts, he doesn’t.

“Once he gets you, he’s a finisher and everything.

“But based on the facts, I have more explosive shots.”

**Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza set for super welterweight showdown in Australia**

Tim Tszyu, the WBO super welterweight champion, will face Brian Mendoza, the WBC interim super welterweight champion, in a unification bout on October 15 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre in Australia. The fight will be broadcasted live on Showtime in the U.S. and will be a major event for Australian boxing fans.

Tszyu (23-0, 17 KOs) is the son of former world champion Kostya Tszyu and has been making a name for himself in the 154-pound division. He has defeated former champions Jeff Horn, Tony Harrison, and Terrell Gausha, as well as contenders Dennis Hogan and Carlos Ocampo. He won the interim WBO title by stopping Harrison in the eighth round in September 2023 and was supposed to fight Jermell Charlo for the undisputed title, but Charlo moved up to face Canelo Alvarez instead.

Mendoza (22-2, 16 KOs) is a rising star from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who has won three straight fights by knockout. He beat Ben Whittaker, Jeison Rosario, and Sebastian Fundora to claim the interim WBC title in April 2023. He has power in both hands and can box from different angles. He is confident that he can upset Tszyu and become the new super welterweight king.

Both fighters are eager to prove themselves as the best in the division and are expecting a tough challenge from each other. Tszyu said that he is expecting a war and that Mendoza will test him more than any other fighter. He also said that he is not bothered by Mendoza's trash talk and that he will let his fists do the talking. Mendoza said that he brings something to the table that Tszyu has never seen before and that he can be slick, come forward, or box. He also said that he is not intimidated by fighting in Australia and that he will silence the crowd with his performance.
