Keith Thurman was today in a vintage form at the press conference in Los Angeles and promised a “Throwback” Performance in its title challenge of the WBC Junior Middle Weight Champion Sebastian Fundora on October 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
A gilded ‘og’ return
Former WBA and WBC welterweight champion, ‘One Time’ Thurman (31-1, 23 COs), was briefly on a chair during his face with the 6’5 1/2 ″ fundora (23-1-1, 15 ko’s). There were some concerns about Thurman, 36, who may have fallen off the thin chair. Given Thurman’s history of injuries over the past eight years, the last thing the PBC needs is to fall and break something.
Call himself a “And,” Thurman told the media that he would accommodate them by giving them a Marvin Hagler against Tommy Hearns style of two-round war on October 25. Keith has never fought like this during his 18-year professional career. It is unrealistic for him to start now.
‘At the age of 36, you can call me an OG. The reason I am still here is the same reason why the fighters are here today. This is the love we have in our hearts for the boxing sport, ‘Keith Thurman said during today’s Kickoff -Pers conference in Los Angeles for his fight against Sebastian Fundora on October 25.
Fans on social media believe that Thurman’s reason to return to the sport after a three -year absence is the smell of money. They think that with Turki Alalshikh fighters pay millions, ‘once’ Wil Thurman wet his beak in that mega-million.
Conquest of a ‘living mountain’
“I miss the action. I miss the excitement. You put Thurman’s name next to someone. I guarantee you, it’s a fight you don’t want to miss, ‘says Thurman. “I’m about to conquer Mount Everest. The living, breathing mountain of a man who is this fundora. ‘
Keith is right. Fans would be interested in seeing him fight against someone. However, some of the top fighters at 154 would be difficult for Thurman to live with at this late stage of his career, with his advanced age and inactivity. He only fought once in the past three years and defeated Brock Jarvis on March 12, 2025 with a third round technical knockout. Thurman looked slower and older in the performance than he had in his previous battle against Mario Barrios on February 5, 2022.
A Hagler-Harns style war?
“They like to call him” the fire “. You can put me in the fire. 24k gold. Solid. No impurities in my heart, ‘Thurman says.’ This is what I live for living championship box, world class. I go back to the setback. Want a 12-round fight? You want a six-round fight. You want a Hagler-Hearns, baby. You want two rounds of madness, where one of us has to go.
“As two greats from toes to toe, blow-by-blow, someone has to fall-hashtag, wood,” says Thurman.
“It’s time for a change in the sport. I’m excited about everything. I’ll see you on September 25,” Fundora said.
