He’s not but Thurman will NEVER get a decision on the cards vs Spence considering he has one foot out the door of boxing and more money can be made from Errol. Thurman needs a KO to win.

It is my understanding that even though they are fighting above welterweight, the WBC 147 strap will still be on the line?

Has the fight even been made yet?

Would serve Spence right if he lost this fight.
