Tim Tszyu is set to clash with Sebastian Fundora for the WBO title and the vacant WBC 154-pound title at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on March 30.

Tszyu, unbeaten and riding high from a successful 2023, looks to continue his dominance in the super welterweight division. Fundora, on the other hand, aims to rebound from a recent defeat and use his height and aggressive style to his advantage.  

The first-ever PBC Pay-Per-View event on Prime Video this Saturday, March 30, will be narrated by a lineup of seasoned commentators. Mauro Ranallo will lead with play-by-play narration, joined by former champion Abner Mares and Hall of Fame coach Joe Goossen for analysis.
