FOLLOWING sizzling on the heels of final week’s postponement of Josh Taylor vs. Jack Catterall II, reviews recommend that one other intriguing combat has sadly fallen by the wayside right now (March 18).
The March 30 welterweight combat between Tim Tszyu and Keith Thurman, which was to function PBC’s inaugural pay-per-view providing on Amazon Prime, is off attributable to an damage suffered by Thurman in coaching. The damage, supposedly an damage to his biceps, has pressured Thurman to withdraw from the combat and leaves Tszyu now looking for a alternative opponent.
That opponent, in line with ESPN’s Mike Coppinger, may very effectively be Sebastian Fundora, who was set to combat on the occasion’s undercard towards Serhii Bohachuk in a vacant WBC title combat. As an alternative, due to Thurman’s damage there may be now each likelihood Fundora will step in to interchange “One Time” and combat Tszyu for the Australian’s WBO model of the super-lightweight crown.
If that proves to be the case, credit score should go to each Fundora for taking the chance at quick discover (when coming off his first loss) and Tszyu for agreeing to the swap when the distinction in types between Thurman and Fundora is so stark and dramatic. In spite of everything, to go from getting ready for an inactive and maybe over-the-hill former champion who stands at 5 foot 9 and fights within the orthodox stance to now getting ready for a six foot 5 southpaw nonetheless very a lot on the rise represents fairly the handbrake flip. Fairly the chance, too.
