The highly anticipated boxing match between Keith Thurman and Tim Tszyu, scheduled for March 30 on Prime Video, is now in doubt due to an injury sustained by Thurman. Reports from various sources indicate that Thurman may have to withdraw from the fight, with the injury occurring during a training session on Sunday. Despite Thurman's potential withdrawal, the event is still expected to proceed, with the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) organization actively seeking a replacement opponent. Sebastian Fundora is mentioned as a likely substitute, although other fighters in the 154-pound division are also being considered. Tim Tszyu, who has scored 17 KOs in 24 fights, faces the prospect of another top American opponent pullout, following a previous cancellation with Charlo.

Told by two officials that Keith Thurman is off the March 30 PPV main event vs. Tim Tszyu with a training camp injury suffered Sunday. The card is a go. Sebastian Fundora at this point is most likely replacement but plenty of 154s on card to pull from.

IF Thurman must pull out due to injury, you’re probably pissed if your Tim Tszyu. That’s two pullouts for him against top American names. Last year Charlo, this year Thurman. You came to America to get busy and this stuff keeps happening. #Boxing #TszyuThurman

Per source involved in the event: Keith Thurman has some sort of injury & March 30 fight is in doubt. “How many times have you seen a fighter go to the doctor 12 days before a fight for an injury and the fight go through? It doesn’t look good,” source said. #ThurmanTszyu #boxing
If you talk that talk, you better walk that walk. @Tim_Tszyu does it all with fists, scoring 17 KOs in 24 fights, but his biggest challenge comes on March 30 on Prime Video. #ThurmanTszyu 📺 Watch Gloves Off: Thurman vs Tszyu | Rolly vs Pitbull now:https://t.co/riYYNQEcwR https://t.co/LjsFR0hStS
