Keith Thurman could face Tim Tszyu in the summer in a non-PPV event. 

Thurman announced his next fight, which will take place against Brock Jarvis on March 12 in Sydney, Australia. It will be at 154 pounds, marking his first fight since beating Mario Barrios in 2022. Thurman has only boxed once since 2019 when he lost to Manny Pacquaio. But before the Jarvis fight was announced, he was scheduled to fight Tszyu last year.

Tszyu was the then-WBO Junior Middleweight Champion. Thurman pulled out with a bicep injury, and Sebastian Fundora stepped in. But Fundora beat Tszyu, meaning a Thurman fight will not be for any belts. Thurman has a bigger chance of winning since Tsyzu also lost his next fight against Bakhram Murtazaliev. He was stopped after being dropped four times. The fight presents an opportunity for both men to revive their careers. 

“Keith Thurman and Tim Tszyu, who could see their canceled fight from last year be rescheduled for the summer as a non-PPV,” Dan Rafael said
