Former absolute junior welterweight world champion, Russian Constantin Tszyu told he did not want to discuss the news that the WBO would strip the title Tim Tszyu in case of defeat against Keith Thurman, because Tszyu is not going to lose.
Earlier, Fox reporter Ben Damon reported that Tim Tszyu would lose the WBO belt if he lost to Keith Thurman, despite the non-title fight status. The fight will take place on March 30 in Las Vegas and will be the main event of the evening.
“I don’t want to think that the WBO will strip Tim of the title if he loses to Thurman. I don’t even want to discuss it, because we are not going to lose,” Tszyu told .
In the professional ring, 29-year-old Tszyu fought 24 fights and won them all. Thurman, 32, has 30 wins and one loss. The American has not entered the ring since May 2022, when he beat compatriot Mario Barrios. Previously, in different years, he was welterweight world champion according to the WBA, WBC and WBA Super versions.
