Former welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman has declared his intention to return to the top of the boxing world as he steps back into the ring on February 5 for the first time since 2019 against former junior welter champ Mario Barrios on PPV in Las Vegas.
“The sport of boxing demands greatness out of Keith Thurman. I demand greatness out of Keith Thurman. For all those who hold titles, get ready, as it’s not for long – I’m back baby! Time for me to dominate the welterweight division,” proclaimed Thurman during a training session at his home boxing gym, the St. Pete Boxing Club. “The sport of boxing, my legacy, is not over. The story is still being written. In 2022 we have a new chapter for Keith Thurman…with a belt, without the belt, I’m one of the greatest welterweights in the world today!”

He’s back? For a second time? He can’t really call himself “one time” anymore. Nobody is buying your krappy PPV, either “Two time” lol
Funny comment.
lispy tricker…whispy licker…money is king.swansong..
Back from what???
The past.
Fight Crawford or Spence next, no more talk as we seen where that got you after old man Pacman beat u up.
Keith “no time” Thurman needs to do his talking with his fists. If he wants to make a believer out of me, then he needs to take care of the smaller Barrios in impressive fashion.. no going backwards like he did against Danny Garcia.. he was knocked down by the smaller, faded Pac-Man and has been hurt by fighters not known for being big punchers. He has a pretty tough assignment coming off a long layoff if he’s gonna back up what he’s saying.
I think he’s vulnerable to the body. Luis Collazo hurt him bad to the body when they fought. Pac hurt him there as well.
Good fighter, but no we won’t pay more PPV$ just because he wants to give us less frequency fights. I’ll watch for free somewhere. Losing a PPV debut does not qualify you for 2 years off and another PPV next time up.
Well Mr. Thurman, we will see in the next few fights.
Basically, all talk to hype himself up and be more marketable. Oh well, Thurman you may be back and riding the confidence train, but that does not prove thing till the bell rings. Skip the talk and show us your skills.
when he steps it up, i will pay attention and actually read and listen to him
Cant really say hes gonna dominate the welterweight division when hes fixing to fight a guy that got KO’d by a super light weight. Not impressed by Thurman AT ALL!!
Very humble man, very humble statement. I wonder how his words will be after he cross path whether with Terence Crawford or Jaron Ennis
Video got me hyped. KT is a great spokesman, for the sport, and good for Boxing anytime he fights. Looks like his wife removed the curse from him and he’s back focused.
I like Barrios too and looking forward to this being a war. A win here for either puts additional pressure at 147lbs. Solid matchup!
I was upset about this match but then I realized that Thurman needs a few Tune up matches since he’s been out of action for so long
Keep piling on the BS Keith. I’m not spending on dime on this Pay-Per-Spew.
“I’m back, baby!” Pure cringe. Not a fan of Thurman. He’s not as talented as he thinks he is. The less he says, the better. In fact, his fights don’t interest me. I’d rather watch a replay of Ken Norton vs Scott LeDoux than any of Thurman’s fights.
He is back? no worries, the boxing world never noticed that you left.
Diarrhea mouth Thurman. He has never been that good. All he does is talk sht. He is cringe af!
He will get knocked out by a body punch in his next fight.
I’m a big Mikey Garcia fan and I wanted to see a fight between Mikey and Thurman with the hopes that Mikey would retire Thurman once and for all…
