News about Keith Thurman

Following Keith Thurman's withdrawal due to a bicep injury, Tim Tszyu will now be defending his WBO junior middleweight title in Las Vegas against American Sebastian Fundora. Fundora, who had been linked to Tszyu a few years ago, will be looking to bounce back from a humiliating knockout loss to Brian Mendoza last time out. On the other hand, Tszyu will be hoping to continue building on his last showing, which saw him beat Mendoza over 12 rounds.

As he faces Sebastian Fundora (pictured together, main) - who stands at a whopping 22 cents taller than him - the Aussie is putting his world title on the line. However, if he comes out on top, the 29-year-old will receive a record-setting reward.

On March 30, the Australian world champion was supposed to face Thurman, 35, in Las Vegas, but those plans were put into question less than two weeks before they were due to clash. In February 2022, the American former united welterweight champion (pictured with Tszyu) died for the final time.

Michael Zerafa, a 14-month veteran of the ring, wants to remind fight fans that he no longer has the opportunity to become the world champion. The Melbourne middleweight has been off the radar since defeating Italian Danilo Creati in Sydney in November 2022, not by choice.

In Las Vegas on March 31, Tszyu, 29, faces former world champion Keith Thurman, 35, with many expecting the Aussie to triumph over his rival, who hasn't competed in two years. Tszyu's captain has the world at his feet, and if conditions go wrong, major battles against the sport's top names could be on the horizon.

In a comedic outburst during the pair's animated press conference, the 35-year-old branded the unbeaten Aussie slugger (right) a 'flat-footed, slow Mexican."

Tim Tszyu's son, who is no longer longing for a piece of 'coward' Jermell Charlo, has set his sights on converting America into 'Tszyu-SA.' With a one-way ticket to Las Vegas, the undefeated Sydney slayer is expected to face two-time world champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman, who is in charge of the mega-money pay-per-view blockbuster on March 30.

Claressa Shields has posted a video of her sparring men in the gym as she prepares for an intergender brawl with former unified male world champion Keith Thurman. Shields, the reigning undisputed middleweight champion in the women's division, called out Thurman last week and is optimistic she can'outbox him.' 'The GWOAT' has already stated that she is larger and taller than the Florida fighter, and that she is reportedly not ready to step into the ring with her. Thurman, on the other hand, is much more reticent, claiming he'll only use his jab' and insist on Shields donning headgear and him wearing 'bigger gloves.' Thurman also stated that he isn't keen on 'punching a woman in the face,' but that he might consider doing it for charity.

Since calling out Keith Thurman as the former male welterweight champion for an unprecedented battle of the sexes, Claressa Shields claims she is in camp to face him. On Monday, Shields, the undefeated women's middleweight champion, challenged Thurman to a fight, claiming she is larger and taller than him. The conversation began on Twitter when the self-proclaimed GWOAT replied to a post highlighting quotes from Errol Spence Jr., who lost his unified welterweight titles against Terence Crawford over the weekend.

According to ESPN, Errol Spence and Keith Thurman have agreed to a wage-per-view fight at junior middleweight in April. When contacted by DailyMail.com, a spokesperson for Premier Boxing Champions refused to confirm the news. PBC is a televised boxing network owned by both fighters and operated by Al Haymon. According to ESPN, Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) holds three of the four major championships at welterweight, but says they would not be risking them in a proposed match with Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs). Both fighters have spent their careers at 147 pounds, headline a welterweight division that has arguably been the best in boxing over the past decade.
