Tim Tszyu, the son of Hall of Famer and former world champion Kostya Tszyu, wants to have a showdown with veteran Anthony Mundine, who himself won world titles in several divisions.

Tszyu is a highly regarded prospect with a record of 8-0 with six wins by way of knockout.

He holds the WBC Asian Boxing Council Continental super welterweight champion, which he captured last October with a win over Wade Ryan at the Johnny Lewis tournament at the Star City Casino in Sydney.

Tszyu is scheduled to return to the ring on May 25th against Larry Siwu at the Star City Casino.

Tszyu and Mundine are no strangers to each other.

The young up and comer had his second pro fight on the undercard to Mundine's rematch with Danny Green in February 2017.

Tszyu sent a message to the veteran, asking him to step up to the plate for a showdown.

“You have had your time, Mundine and now it’s mine. Tszyu and Mundine, the two biggest names in Australian boxing history. Why not, let’s make it happen," Tszyu said.

Mundine, who has a world ranking, last fought back in January when he scored a two round knockout of Tommy Browne to capture the WBO Oriental middleweight title.

That victory snapped a two fight losing streak.

At 42 years old, Mundine is looking for the biggest paydays possible and Tszyu is unlikely to be on that list.

In a recent months, he was trying to chase down a fight with WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn, who eventually finalized a deal to face his mandatory challenger Terence Crawford on June 9th in Las Vegas.

Horn's handlers were considering the bout with Mundine, but the two sides were far from being on the same page when it came to the financials.

Win or lose, Mundine is probably going to continue his pursuit of Horn.
