The head of the promotion company Matchroom Boxing Eddie Hearn reacted to the organization of a fight between the WBO world champion in the first middleweight Tim Tszyu and former title holder in the welterweight division Keith Thurman, which will take place on March 30 in Las Vegas.
Earlier it became known that the World Boxing Organization (WBO) refused to sanction the fight for a number of reasons.
“In a PPV event there must be a main event. Tim Tszyu, who I like, against Keith Thurman... This is not what is needed. I would like to see another fight. I doubt that Keith, who hasn’t fought for more than two years, is worthy of a fight with the world champion,” the functionary said in an interview with the YouTube channel Fight Hub TV.
