In addition to the PPV available for purchase on Prime Video, fans will be able to continue watching the broadcast via traditional cable and satellite channels. This is because the co-event promoters of this tournament, TGB Promotions and No Limit Boxing, have their own TV stations.
Despite being joint event promoters, the executives of TGB Promotions and No Limit Boxing have great confidence in the success of this tournament.
Tom Brown, president of TGB Promotions, said in an interview: "The first live broadcast of Prime Video by Top Boxing Champion Promotion Company is very attractive, and these fighters are not only the best fighters today, but also the darlings of the boxing market, such as Romero and 'Bulldog' Cruz, all of whom can drive the box office, which makes me very optimistic about the fight on March 30." ”
George Rose, CEO of No Limit Boxing, also said in an interview with reporters: "This is a historic fight, and Tim Ciyu's name will appear in the ranks of the top fighters in the profession, and this is the place he deserves. Now Tim Tszyu just wants to play big, and Keith Thurman fits the bill perfectly. Thanks to Premier Boxing Champions, TGB Promotions, and Prime Video. I am sure that the night of March 30 will be an incredible night of boxing. ”
The 36-year-old Keith Thurman was once the representative of the welterweight gold division, and he has defeated former world champions Sean Porter, Danny Garcia, and Robert Guerrero. In his heyday, Keith Thurman once held two world boxing titles, WBA and WBC. However, after multiple injuries, Keith Thurman's form has not been as good as before, so Keith Thurman tried to move up to super welterweight, but his fight against Tim Tszyu is not a World Title fight, but a titleless fight.
Currently, Keith Thurman has a 30-1 professional record with 22 knockouts. His only defeat came in 2019, when he lost to Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao in a narrow split decision in his WBA World Title defense. Keith Thurman's last bout was in February 2022 when Keith Thurman defeated former world boxing champion Mario Barrios by unanimous decision.
The 29-year-old Tim Tszyu, the son of former world champion and boxing Hall of Famer Kostya Tszyu, was promoted to super welterweight world champion for his fiery performance in 2023. Over the course of his career, Tim has defeated former world champion Tony Harrison, top fighters Brian Mendoza, and Carlos Ocampo. Now, Tim Tszyu wants to emulate his predecessor, Jemel Charlo, and once again unify the super welterweight division.
