Home Boxing: Tszyu Brothers’ Sparring Ban Over, Nikita Prepares to Mimic Errol Spence Jr.
Introduction
In a surprising twist to the Tszyu brothers’ sparring ban, Tim Tszyu has declared that the ban is officially over, and his younger brother, Nikita Tszyu, is already learning to mimic the fight style of Errol Spence Jr. Nikita has been watching old Spence fights and training in the same style in preparation for a potential fight between the southpaw Spence and his world champion brother in 2024. The undefeated Nikita Tszyu, aged 25, has also promised to reveal some of his new Spence traits in his upcoming fight against Australian favorite Jack Brubaker.
The Sparring Ban
The sparring ban between the Tszyu brothers was put into place by their grandfather Boris after Tim busted Nikita’s nose so badly in one session that he had to be hospitalized and required surgery. The incident was kept a secret for several months until Nikita revealed it just before Tim’s knockout win over Carlos Ocampo. While Tim confirmed the story and the ban this week, he also revealed that they would now be sparring again.
Sibling Rivalry and Dynamite Power
Tim Tszyu praised his brother’s dynamite power and predicted a quick victory for Nikita in his fight against Jack Brubaker. With five knockouts in six fights and still progressing, Tim believes that nobody can withstand Nikita’s power. He also admitted to jabbing Nikita straight in the nose, causing the injury, but expressed remorse for it. However, the incident did not deter the brothers from training together again, especially with a potential fight against Spence on the horizon.
Nikita Tszyu‘s Preparation
Nikita Tszyu has already started watching old Errol Spence fights and is learning to emulate his style. He believes that a future fight between Tim and Spence is inevitable, and he wants to be the perfect sparring partner for Tim when that time comes. By learning how Spence moves and emulating his fighting style, Nikita believes he can not only help his brother but also improve his own skills.
Mimicking Spence’s Style
Nikita acknowledged that Spence is an excellent pressure fighter who flicks out his jab frequently and has exceptional bodywork. By studying Spence’s movements and tactics, Nikita has been able to improve his own bodywork. He believes that understanding the little nuances of Spence’s style can open up specific shots for him.
Keeping Secrets and Closed Books
Nikita Tszyu has decided not to disclose too much about his preparation and how he reads fighters. He wants to keep his strategies and insights a secret, not wanting anyone else to know what goes into his boxing arsenal. As for sparring with his brother Tim, who put him in surgery last year, Nikita sees it as an opportunity to benefit his brother by emulating Spence’s style. He believes that most sparring partners have their own style or only mimic the style of the upcoming opponent, but he aims to go beyond that by fully understanding and imitating Spence’s fighting style.
Conclusion
The lifting of the sparring ban between the Tszyu brothers has given them an opportunity to train together again. Nikita Tszyu‘s decision to learn from Errol Spence Jr.’s fighting style shows his dedication and commitment to his craft. By studying and emulating Spence, Nikita aims to not only assist his brother in potential future fights but also improve his own skills. It remains to be seen how the Tszyu brothers’ training will unfold and what the future holds for them in the world of boxing.
