"The WBO has upped the stakes in the Tim Tszyu vs. 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.
