Tim Tszyu possesses a deliberate footwork style reminiscent of Mexican boxing techniques.
In a highly anticipated matchup set to take place at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, March 30, former welterweight champ Keith Thurman faces off against Australia's reigning WBO junior middleweight king, Tim Tszyu. The bout, initially slated as a title defense for Tszyu, is now confirmed at a 155-pound catchweight in the middleweight division.
Thurman, coming off a unanimous decision victory against Mario Barrios in February 2022, exudes confidence, labeling Tszyu as a "slow-footed fighter with a Mexican style." The 35-year-old Floridian vows to meet Tszyu in the center of the ring, predicting a tearful exit for the Australian champion.
