CAN KEITH THURMAN DEFEAT TIM TSZYU MARCH 30TH ??

It's official, and the previous reports have now been fully confirmed: Keith Thurman is set to take on Tim Tszyu for Tszyu's WBO super welterweight title on Saturday, March 30, in a live showdown available on Amazon Prime Video pay-per-view.

In an interesting twist, 35-year-old Thurman finds himself in the promotional spotlight as the A-side, despite being the title challenger and not the emerging star in this matchup. This dynamic is reflected in the social media hashtag #ThurmanTszyu rather than #TszyuThurman, underlining the perception that Thurman carries greater star power.

While Thurman boasts an impressive record (30-1, 22 KO), having been absent from the ring for two years and with just one fight in the last four-and-a-half years, the spotlight remains on him. This could potentially serve as motivation for Tszyu (24-0, 17 KO), the 29-year-old second-generation fighter, who sees this positioning as an opportunity to prove his worth and solidify his status as a rising star.

Tszyu's recent accomplishments include three fights in 2023, culminating in a clear decision win over Brian Mendoza, earning him recognition as the full WBO 154-pound World Champion. The upcoming bout against Thurman adds another layer to his quest for undisputed glory.

This high-stakes showdown headlines a stacked four-fight pay-per-view event, featuring Keith Thurman against Tim Tszyu in the main event and a co-main event showcasing 140-pound world champion Rolando "Rolly" Romero facing Mexican star Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz. Set to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 30, this event marks the debut of PBC Pay-Per-View available through Prime Video, following a groundbreaking rights agreement announced in December.

Thurman, a former unified world champion at welterweight, steps into the super welterweight division for the first time, aiming to dethrone the undefeated reigning WBO 154-pound World Champion, Tszyu. Thurman's notable victories include triumphs over Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, and Robert Guerrero, while Tszyu, following in the footsteps of his Hall of Famer father Kostya Tszyu, looks to continue his ascent in the world of boxing.

Don't miss this clash of styles and aspirations as Thurman and Tszyu go toe-to-toe in a 12-round non-title showdown, bringing the thrill of boxing directly to your screens on Amazon Prime Video.
