Famous journalist Ben Damon reported an interesting news, which concerns the upcoming fight between the world champion in the first middleweight WBO Tim Tszyu and Keith Thurman. According to Damon, Tim will lose the championship belt if he loses to Keith in a non-title fight.
"The WBO has upped the stakes in the Tim Tszyu and Keith Thurman fight, deciding that Tszyu will be stripped of his world title if he loses a non-title bout in the 155-pound weight class with Thurman," Damon wrote on his social media accounts.
The bout between Tim Tszyu and Keith Thurman will take place on March 30 in Las Vegas.
Recall, Leonard Ellerbe does not consider Tszyu a clear favorite in the fight with Thurman.
