"The winner of this fight might get a chance to fight Terrence Crawford. That's the motivation for both guys. They both have something to prove. It's going to be a very interesting fight. Tim Tszyu always does his job right. I can't wait to see this fight and see who wins," Ford told Boxing Scene.
The fight between Tszyu and Thurman will take place on March 30 in Las Vegas at interim featherweight. In this case, if Tszyu, the current world champion in the first middleweight WBO version, loses in this fight, will lose the championship title.
