Thurman: “It would be great to become a champion in a new weight, but the essence of the fight with Tszyu is different”

Former world welterweight champion Keith Thurman spoke about his attitude towards decision The World Boxing Organization (WBO) will not sanction his fight with the champion of this version in the first middle division Tim Tszyu.

“I’ll take this big win, but I won’t get the credit I deserve as a three-time world champion. As a world champion in two categories.

Still, people who understand boxing understand that Keith Thurman will defeat the undefeated world champion. This will go down in history, which is great. I had titles. Of course, it would be cool to become a world champion again in a new weight, but the essence of this fight is different,” Boxing News 24/7 quotes Thurman as saying.

Let us remind you that the American and the Australian will fight on March 30 in Las Vegas.
