Tim Tszyu connects with a punch against Brian Mendoza during the WBO super-welterweight world title bout between Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on October 15, 2023.

The Tim Tszyu-Sebastian Fundora PPV fight card, which retails at $69.95, is the first of as many as 12 boxing events the streaming service hopes to distribute in 2024 as part of its recently signed multi-year deal with boxing promotion company Premier Boxing Champions, according to Prime Video director, head of partnerships Charlie Neiman. The streaming service has already announced it will distribute the May 4 Canelo Alvarez-Jaime Munguia PPV fight.
