Shawn Porter to stay busy with an exhibition bout

[Mitchell Kane]

Per Lance Pugmire:

As Shawn Porter awaits a new date and site for his welterweight title shot against Keith Thurman, he’s decided to stage an exhibition fight at his Las Vegas gym.

Porter (26-1-1, 16 knockouts), according to a boxing official, will fight veteran Lanardo Tyner in an exhibition scheduled for 12 rounds on March 12, the original date of his bout with Thurman.

An official with boxing manager Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions told The Times PBC is in talks with CBS to find a clear date for Thurman-Porter and the focus now is on May.

The bout will not take place at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, where it was originally scheduled, and there is interest in placing the fight in Las Vegas.

It'd be better if he just fought a real fight if he won't get Thurman until May

Thurman is such a disgusting low life coward. Seriously. Its ****ing disgusting, no other way to put it. That ugly fraud is dead scared of Porter.

Porter should just move on from "Runtime" because that chump don't want it.

That's a good idea. Dude ain't fought in a while.

Meh, not mad at it.

Thought the name rang a bell, looked him up. Tyner is a salty dog. Been in with Canelo and Peterson, never been stopped.

Why not.

Good for him. Did the time in camp so why not. Used to happen all the time back in the day.
