Tim Tszyu is left stunned by his giant opponent’s ‘s**t’ act just before their world title fight: ‘Professionals don’t do that’

Tim Tszyu has branded Sebastian Fundora unprofessional after being left shocked when he heard a detail about the giant American’s preparation for their title fight in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Australian will give away an incredible 9 inches of height to the American as they battle for the WBO and WBC super welterweight titles at the MGM Grand casino – but a telling detail shows their build-up to the fight was radically different.

Tszyu had seen photos on social media of Fundora eating junk food just two days after the fight, and before the pair weighed in.

“Fundora was eating pizza, eating burgers – I was in shock,” Tszyu said on Friday, Australian time.

The pair weigh in for Saturday’s match – and judging by what the American has been putting into his body lately, he could struggle to make the 69.85kg limit.

“As a professional athlete, two days off from his fight and he’s eating so poorly? It baffles me.

‘I live and breathe this sport and I live by the code of the disciplined lifestyle.

‘Professionals don’t do that.’

Before the junk food revelation became public, Fundora gave an interview in which he detailed his usual pre-fight diet, saying he eats three eggs and a bacon tortilla with green salsa for breakfast, pasta with meat sauce and garlic bread for lunch – and “as the good thing is’ for me’ steak and hot fries for dinner.

The American boasts of his fast metabolism, which allows him to reach the 69.85kg limit for the Super Welter division, despite being a whopping 197cm tall.

On the other hand, Tszyu has his own fight chef, Omar Iferd, who makes sure he eats nutritious meals while he strips naked to gain weight.

A win over Fundora will open some very important doors for Tszyu, who is on the verge of securing some big fights.

This week, former welterweight champion Errol Spence Junior tweeted that he was “heading to Vegas – I want the winner!!,” and added a video of a shark to illustrate that he is on the hunt for Tszyu.

Pound-for-pound king Terence Crawford is also reportedly in talks with Tszyu’s camp about a mega-fight if the ‘Soul Taker’ does the job against Fundora.

Crawford stopped fellow countryman Spence in a blockbuster ninth round last July to become undisputed welterweight champion, but both are looking to move up a division.

Tszyu battered Brian Mendoza to a unanimous decision in his last fight – and Mendoza is the only man to beat Fundora, knocking him out in stunning fashion last April.

Tszyu said that once he had taken care of Fundora, his next step would be the one that made the most financial sense.

He said he liked that the script had been flipped and he was now the big name called out.

“I’ve wanted Errol Spence for a long time, we’ve had history and he’s mentioned a few things to me, so I would love that fight too,” said the 29-year-old.

“Come to dad… it feels good and that’s why we went down the road of getting the belts because they come to you.

“I was in a position where I was chasing (Jermel) Charlo, chasing him, and now they’re coming to me.

“These are the moments I always wanted, to get the big names fighting each other.”
