Tim Tszyu: record, next fight and profile →

A card bejeweled with four world-championship belts on the line marks the Saturday night launch of Premier Boxing Champions’ debut card on Amazon Prime Video.

Junior middleweight prospect Jordan “The Patriot” Panthen (7-0, 6 KOs) is set to return against Ravshan Hudaynazarov (19-5, 14 KOs) in an eight-round feature fight at The Hangar in Costa Mesa, California, on April 4.

Terence Crawford will reportedly be allowed to retain his WBO welterweight title even as he moves up to junior middleweight, where he will be the mandatory challenger of the winner of Saturday’s fight between Tim Tszyu and Sebastian Fundora.

Rolando Romero believes he will become the first fighter to stop Isaac Cruz when the in the co-feature of the March 30 Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view card on Amazon Prime, headlined by Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora.

So while Amazon’s Prime Video makes its U.S. debut Saturday with a pay-per-view card headlined by Tim Tszyu’s pursuit of a second world-title belt against Sebastian Fundora at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the rest of the world will have to access the bout by their own means.

This week brings five days with a combined nine boxing broadcasts — one show on Wednesday, one on Thursday, two shows on Friday, four shows on Saturday, and one on Sunday. The biggest of them all is Saturday’s pay-per-view headlined by Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora. Tszyu-Fundora is one of four world title fights on the show.

Many believe a scheduled Serhii Bohachuk-Sebastian Fundora matchup might have been a fight of the year contender. But due to a turn of fate, Fundora is now in for the fight of his life. Serving as a replacement for injured Keith Thurman, Fundora will face junior middleweight titleholder Tim Tszyu in the lead bout of a March 30 pay-per-view card in Las Vegas.

When Tim Tszyu steps into the ring against late replacement Sebastian Fundora at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 30, he will do so not only as one of the hottest young boxers in the sport but also with a goal of cementing himself as one of the very best pugilists ever to emerge from Australia. With due respect to the likes of George Kambosos Jr., Tszyu is almost certainly already the No. 1 active boxer from the Land Down Under. But who are some of the other names in Australia’s fistic history to whom Tszyu will ultimately be compared?

Saving the upcoming March 30 show featuring Tim Tszyu in the main event required a bit of scrambling — made easier by some astute planning. Tszyu was supposed to defend his junior middleweight title against Keith Thurman, who pulled out with a biceps injury with less than two weeks to go. On the same day that news broke, so did the news that Tszyu will instead face Sebastian Fundora.

Australian boxing superstar Tim Tszyu and all-action super welterweight sensation Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora went face to face for the first time on Thursday, at a media workout before they meet for Tszyu’s WBO and the vacant WBC 154-pound world titles headlining a PBC Pay-Per-View event available on Prime Video Saturday, March 30 (Sunday Mar 31 in Australia) from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
