Terence Crawford could be installed as WBO mandatory to Tim Tszyu-Keith Thurman winner, Paco Valcarcel hints

Tim Tszyu has long spoken of his desire to feature in boxing’s biggest fights and that dream appears to have moved one step closer.

The Australian first has to get by Keith Thurman in Las Vegas on March 30 (Mar. 31 in Australia).

Should he be successful, a potential meeting with two-division undisputed world champion Terence Crawford awaits.

Crawford currently holds three of the four major belts at welterweight, having stopped Errol Spence to unify the division last July, before later being stripped of the IBF title.

With the WBO, “Bud” has been designated as a “Super Champion.”

As part of that organization’s rules, Super Champions can be installed as mandatory challenger to the WBO champion in the division above or below.
