Terrell Gausha is ready to cement his status in the super welterweight division.
Gausha will take on Tim Tszyu on Saturday, March 26 live on Showtime. The bout will headline the card from The Armory in Minneapolis.
“We’ve been working on some different things for this fight,” said Gausha. “We’re going to give Tim Tszyu a different look than he’s seen before. Compared to most of the fights that everyone has seen, they’re going to see something new from me on March 26.”
Tszyu, the son of Hall of Fame fighter Kostya Tszyu, will be making his much-anticipated debut in the U.S. against Gausha, after dominating his first 20 fights in his native Australia. For the Cleveland native Gausha, his motivation comes from within and not from the hype surrounding Tszyu entering this matchup.
“I’m just motivated period,” said Gausha. “It’s got nothing to do with any hype around Tszyu. It has everything to do with where I’m at in my life and my career. Things are happening at the right time for me. I’m in a good place. This is the perfect fight for me at this point in my career.
Gausha challenged for the WBA and IBO super welterweight belts back in 2017. The 34-year-old from Cleveland is 22-2-1 in his career with 11 knockout wins.
Last year, Gausha scored a second round knockout over Jamontay Clark to bounce back from a 2020 loss to Erickson Lubin.
Tszyu last fought in November when he earned a decision over Takeshi Inoue.
