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.
