Tim Tszyu, reigning WBO World Welterweight Champion Tim Tszyu has spoken out about his upcoming fight with Keith Thurman. The Australian boxer said that after their confrontation Thurman will change his nickname.

"I should be wary of Thurman's uncomfortable style. His nickname One Time will change after our fight from 'once' to 'last time'. He used to fight at the highest level, but today is a different era. That's all," Tim Tszyu told Fighthype.

The fight between Tszyu and Thurman will take place on March 30 in Las Vegas. Tim Tszyu's championship belt will not be at stake, but the WBO has decided to strip Tszyu of his title if he loses.
