Keith Thurman is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on November 23, 1988 in Clearwater, Florida, United States. Welterweight fighter who made his professional debut on November 9, 2007, scoring a TKO victory against Kensky Rodney.
In November, 2012, he scored a highlight knockout against Carlos Quintana.
It was announced on February 17, Thurman would defend his title against Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs) on March 12, 2016 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. On February 23, Thurman’s promoter said he had been forced to postpone his upcoming fight with Porter after being injured in a car accident. Lou Di Bella has insisted the injury is not serious or career threatening, but admits the American was lucky to have escaped major injury. Thurman, following the advice of his doctors, was on the sidelines for approximately six weeks before resuming training. Porter announced that his rescheduled world title clash against Thurman will take place on June 25 at the Barclays Center. The World Boxing Association then ordered the winner of the Thurman and Porter to face interim WBA welterweight champion David Avanesyan (22-1-1, 11 KOs), who beat #3 WBA Shane Mosley (49-10-1, 41 KOs) on May 28.
On October 12, 2013 it was announced that Thurman would make his first defense of the Interim title on the Broner vs. Maidana WBA world title fight on December 14 against battle tested Jesus Soto Karass (28-8-3, 18 KOs) at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Soto Karass was coming off a stunning knockout victory over former champion Andre Berto and was deemed to be a difficult opponent. After a slow start Thurman took over the fight in the middle rounds as he floored Soto Karass in the fifth round before landing a brutal combination in the ninth round sending Soto Karass to the canvas for a second time in the fight and stopping him. Thurman was ahead on all the cards (79-72, 78-73 & 80-71) and turned another strong performance. Thurman boxed patiently, cautiously and smartly, pacing himself and respecting Soto Karass’ hand power despite Soto Karass’ lack of hand speed. With many prospects and potential good match-ups at welterweight, Thurman claimed he wasn’t afraid to lose and wanted to fight the best. Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer said, “The Broner-Maidana winner is a possibility. There are so many great match- ups, but he is certainly right there at the very top of the 147-pound weight class.”
He was born in Clearwater, Florida.
