“Tim Tszyu has impressed me in his last two fights. But as a Keith Thurman fan, it's hard for me to go against him. A lot of people don't like him, but I think he's hard to beat and he has a good IQ. So I'm rooting for Thurman. I may be wrong in this case, but it’s my choice,” Stevenson wrote in X.
