Right now? What’s the point? I haven't thought about it at all. If an offer comes, we’ll see. I don't make decisions by myself. I have a coach and managers who I trust 100%. My only condition is that I don’t take fights on short notice. I need preparation – I’m not stepping into the ring just for a paycheck.
To recall, the fight between Murtazaliev and Tszyu took place in the early hours of October 20 and ended with a victory for the reigning IBF title holder. The match lasted three rounds and ended with a technical knockout. After Tim was knocked down four times within four minutes, his team decided to pull him out of the bout.
As a result, the undefeated Bahram Murtazaliev achieved his 23rd career victory and his 17th knockout. Tim Tszyu has 24 wins (17 by knockout) and two losses.
