Curmel Moton is set to fight in the undercard of Tim Tszyu vs. Keith Thurman on March 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, an appreciation post from Moton thanking sparring partners on social media today has created quite a commotion. 

Moton last appeared in the ring against Hunter Turbyfill on 25 November, winning the fight via first-round knockout. It was only his second professional bout that reaffirmed everyone’s belief that he was going to make it big in the scene. So, with his next fight coming up quickly, ‘Big Deal’ decided to head over to The Money Team gym.

High hopes from Curmel Moton 

Turning to Instagram, the 2-0 boxer shared a picture of himself with three of his sparring partners in the gym. He captioned the post, “16 hard rounds with [these] killas I appreciate the rounds #tmt 3/30 the count down.” Moreover, the Las Vegas resident is a familiar sight at the gym as he trains there under the mentorship of legendary Floyd Mayweather.

After his debut win, ‘Big Deal’ expressed his desire to fight Leigh Wood, someone who is much more experienced than he is. Plus, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions has high hopes for the 17-year-old. In a recent interview, Leonard Ellerbe claimed, “He’s a tremendous young fighter. We’re expecting major, major things of him moving forward. He’ll be very busy this year.” So, when the fans found the post from Moton, the anticipation for his next fight was palpable in the comments.
