It’s official. The era of Amazon Prime Boxing begins March 30. The inaugural PPV event will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The lineup is:
Tim Tszyu vs. Keith Thurman
Rolly Romero vs. Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz
Erislandy Lara vs. Michael Zerafa
Sebastian Fundora vs. Serhii Bohachuk
The WBO would not sanction Tszyu-Thurman, so it will be a non-title affair.
Keith Thurman: “I’m back in action and I’m happy to be a part of this first event with PBC on Prime Video. Tszyu stands out as an exceptional fighter, and I’ve always held admiration for his performances. His distinctive style provides the perfect stage for me to exhibit the relentless dedication I’ve poured into training, refining my skills, and fortifying my mental game. This fight promises a spectacular showdown between two of the most electrifying fighters in the sport, an event that demands attention. Good things come to those that wait. Them days are over, bright lights and action are up ahead. Let’s shake up the world of boxing one more time on Prime Video.”
Tim Tszyu: “I’ve been ready and waiting to headline a historic event like this in the U.S. for a very long time and it’s an honor that I don’t take lightly. My father did it, and was at the top of the world for a decade, now it’s my turn. Thurman is a great fight, he’s tricky, tough and he’s mixed it with the very best the sport has seen. This is a new era now. It’s the Tszyu era. On March 30, everyone who tunes into this pay-per-view is going to see for themselves.” Continue reading “Amazon Prime card officially announced”
