The Australian record payday Tim Tszyu will secure if he wins this weekend

Tim Tszyu will be on the cusp of earning the single biggest payday in Australian sport if he becomes a unified champion against Sebastian Fundora this weekend.

Crawford, considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, has exercised his right as WBO welterweight champion to be named mandatory challenger to the winner of Tszyu-Fundora. “I remember two or three years ago, they released the highest-paid athletes in Australia. I was in the top 30 or something. Someone said to me, ‘Wow, congratulations, blah, blah, blah’.“For me, with my winning mindset, if you’re not No.1 then there’s nothing to say congratulations about. I compete with everything that I do. If it’s not No.1 of being the best at something, then I’m not content with it.

‘I compete with everything that I do. If it’s not No.1 of being the best at something, then I’m not content with it.’“It would put Tim into the highest category,” Jennings said. “In the space of a week, we went from a non-title, 155-pound catchweight fight against Keith Thurman to a 154-pound unification belt fight. Then two days after that, Crawford enters via the WBC mandatory and we’re into the stratosphere.
