Tim Tszyu hints whether unfinished business with Sebastian Fundora or Keith Thurman is more likely

A convincing victory over Joey Spencer in Australia on Sunday will likely lead Tim Tszyu to two options laden with unfinished business.

There is the unfinished business he has with unified super welterweight world champion Sebastian Fundora who scored a split-decision win over Tszyu in an absolute bloodbath in March 2024.

And then there is the unfinished business that never was that he has with Keith Thurman who was originally supposed to clash with Tszyu before “One Time” suffered a bicep injury, paving the way for Fundora to defeat the Australian, instead.

So which unfinished business is more alluring for Tszyu?

The 30-year-old Tszyu (24-2, 17 KOs) believes the business lure of a Thurman fight might be enough to push past an attempt at redemption against Fundora.

“I think the Keith Thurman fight is the one that’s on the cards,” Tszyu told DAZN News as part of a media roundtable Wednesday evening.

“If you were to give me the options, I would choose Fundora, of course, but I think it makes business sense to have the Thurman fight.”

Tszyu was quick to remind reporters that he is not “underestimating Joey Spencer.” He cannot afford to after losing two straight bouts — to Fundora last March before being decimated by Bakhram Murtazaliev via a third-round TKO in October.

Consequently, the “Soul Taker” knows a win over Spencer could get him back on track against either Fundora or Thurman next.

That might explain why Tszyu was willing to offer a scouting report on each fighter.

“In terms of technical styles, they’re both awkward type fights,” he said of Thurman and Fundora. “They’re not straightforward type of opponents. But Thurman is a mover, a swinger and he comes with really weird punches so it’s about adapting with him.”

Considering Thurman made it a point to have his first fight in over three years in Australia, where he defeated Brock Jarvis last month, the pendulum could very well swing toward Tszyu vs. Thurman next. And Tszyu is the first to salute Thurman on a job well done energizing the Australian market, making “Down Under” familiar with his boxing prowess in the ring and personality out of it.

“It makes sense, business wise, the whole Australia now knows Keith Thurman,” Tszyu conceded. “He was out in the public, in the news, doing his media circles.

“It creates a rivalry … and some unfinished business.”
