Former WBA and WBC welterweight champion Keith Thurman (29-1, 22 KOs) has announced on social media that he will be out of action for the rest of the year.
Keith Thurman: I recently had surgery on my left hand to deal with a nagging injury. I feel great and can’t wait to get back in the ring in early 2020. My injuries have been frustrating, but thanks to your support I’m determined to become a Champ again soon… #OneTime
Lol
When? December 2020?
This is unheard that a fighter got so many injuries on his arms.
Thurman should think about retirement, because maybe his body is not for this type of sport.
Good fighter, despite all these setbacks
This bloke is a myth, a real part timer
Keith “it’s not your time” Thurman, are you going to us the hand injury as an excuse, we’ll wait for the next shoe to drop!!
So Manny Pacquiao can give an “excuse” for a hurt shoulder and Thurman can’t for an apparently
injured hand?
Thurman should go back to Golden Boy, and see if he can get a title fight with the WBO at 154 if Munguia vacates late this year. Thurman has a shot against most of the top guys in the WBO at 154. If Thurman wants to be a WBO champ for awhile, mid 2020 to late 2021, that is probably his best chance.

I guess one time Thurman means one time a year, right? smh
Give the guy a break, truly no pun intended. The man apparently has a nagging injury. Since when did saying “hey I have a nagging injury and need to have surgury” become an “excuse”. It’s not like he’s holding up the division.
Great point! Not holding up anyone or anything, really.
Keith “outta time” Thurman needs to retire. His body is not built for this, and I’m sick of the hype.
AGREED!! this dude is way to fragile to be a fighter. What sux is hes gonna come back in 2020 and try to fight at the highest level and be given the shot. Dude shld jus hang em up. Everytime I hear the name Thurman, I associate it with injury lmao.. that’s a shame Keith “Once Upon a Time” Thurman hahaha
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet…. how long this time Keith no more time Thurman? Hype Job!!!
it would’ve been ok, if he didn`t run up his fat gob so much.
