WBO world champion in junior middleweight Tim Tszyu said that in 2019 the legendary Manny Pacquiao invited him to his training camp to prepare for a fight with Keith Thurman.
“In 2019, Pacquiao invited me to be his sparring partner, where I was told to copy Keith Thurman’s style. So I watched a whole bunch of his fights. Since then I know absolutely everything about Thurman! It’s crazy that now, three or four years later, we’re doing a show together,” Tszyu was quoted as saying by Boxing Scene.
Let us remember that the day before it became known that Tszyu and Thurman will share the ring on March 30 in Las Vegas, USA. The WBO refused to sanction the upcoming fight, so it will be a non-title fight and will take place at a catchweight of up to 70.3 kg.
