‘Nobody wants to fight him’: Meet the 187cm US southpaw who has flown into Vegas to save Tszyu

Understanding in Holmes you have a fella who is not only an undefeated 6’2’’ southpaw, or a fella with four Golden Gloves titles, but since turning pro in 2016, a Michigan native who has fought 15 times, never tasted defeat and is increasingly being talked up thanks to his size, reach and other “God given ability” – including a long, stinging jab.Which is why before you woke up on Tuesday this week, Team Tszyu were buying him a plane ride into Las Vegas.

Ardreal Holmes Jr has been drafted in to help Tim Tszyu prepare for his upcoming fight against Sebastian Fundora. ‘It’s the Nikita curse’: THIRD opponent fails to seal Tszyu bout as star slams ‘strict’ verdictWhich is why even before news of the Thurman withdrawal broke officially, Tszyu’s manager Glen Jennings was on the phone and scouring the States for oversized southpaws who could mimic the Inferno, long touted as the division’s Next Big Thing.

Asked once about their unlikely partnership, Holmes explained that given he and Shields were always around the same weight, and with no local girls able to hang with the future world champ, Holmes would often get the call to step in.Rising steadily through the super welterweight ranks, Holmes has over time attracted a whole heap of praise from people who matter including, ironically, American great Zab Judah.
