On March 30th, boxing fans will be treated to an exciting night of fights as PBC on Prime Video streams live and for free. The event will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will feature some highly anticipated showdowns that are sure to keep viewers glued to their seats.

One of the headline bouts of the evening will see former welterweight champion Keith Thurman step up to fight in the super welterweight division against the unbeaten Tim Tszyu. While no belts will be on the line, this 12-round matchup is all about pride and is expected to be a thrilling clash between two talented fighters. Thurman, with his record of 30-1 and 22 knockouts, has proven his skills by defeating the likes of Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, and Robert Guerrero. The only blemish on his record is a close loss to Manny Pacquiao. As for Tszyu, the 29-year-old Australian is riding high after a successful 2023, where he claimed the world champion title at 154-pounds.

In the co-main event, WBA Super Lightweight World Champion Rolando Romero will defend his title for the first time against Isaac Cruz in a 12-round showdown. Romero, known for his sharp tongue and knockout power, will face a tough challenge in Cruz who is stepping up to the 140-pound weight class with hopes of capturing the belt. Romero's victory over Ismael Barroso last year showcased his skills as a true contender, while Cruz's recent wins against top opponents highlight his readiness for the big leagues.

Another exciting matchup on the card features Erislandy Lara defending his WBA Middleweight World Title against Zerafa. Lara, with his impressive record of 29-3-3, has been a dominant force in the 154-pound division and will look to continue his reign as champion. However, Zerafa is not to be underestimated, as the Australian fighter has been on a winning streak and has proven himself as a formidable opponent.

The pay-per-view spectacle will also feature an intriguing clash between Sebastian Fundora and Serhii Bohachuk for the vacant Interim WBC Super Welterweight Title. Fundora, standing at an imposing 6-foot-6, brings a unique blend of grit and brawling style to the ring, while Bohachuk, a knockout artist from Ukraine, boasts a perfect knockout record.

Additionally, the event will showcase exciting bouts in the middleweight and flyweight divisions. Elijah García will face off against Kyrone Davis in a middleweight showdown, while Julio Cesar Martinez defends his WBC World Champion title against Angelino Cordova in the flyweight division.

With an action-packed lineup featuring some of boxing's rising stars and seasoned veterans, this event promises to be a must-watch for boxing enthusiasts. PBC on Prime Video offers fans the opportunity to stream the fights live and for free at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, leading up to the pay-per-view event at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
