Thurman addresses critics before the return

Keith Thurman will return to the ring after a three -year break next month to face Brock Jarvis in a March 12 round at Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Australia. Something brought the former WBA and WBC Thurman’s weight champion (30-1, 22 kos). Thurman does not like critics who have roasted him to look at the navel with his internal approach and ignore his career that was once promising.

It could be money. He says he has a “good contract” for this year, which could lead to a fight against Tim Tszyu. If Keith can cross Jarvis and his training fields, a fight against Tszyu is possible. Thurman was supposed to fight against former Junior TSZYU Junior Weight Champion last year on March 30, but retired due to an injury.

Oxide and brand change

After three years, ‘Once’ Thurman has probably lost much of his game of his last fight against Mario Barrios on February 5, 2022. He cannot blame that period active only for the injuries because he could have returned to the ring if he I loved the sport enough. The fact that it will remain so long suggests that it will disappear again after one or two fights.

In Thurman’s first fight, he faces Jarvis, 27 (22-1.20 kos) in a fighting for him. The last time Thurman fought in 2022, he would have done an easy job of a fighter like Jarvis, but now it is not clear if he will do it at 36.

“All we do is complain. We have the worst critics. We criticize everything. ‘He is at this stage of his career. What do you have? “Said Keith Thurman for Millcity boxingreacting to the criticism he received for his last return against Brock Jarvis. “Let’s look at a boxing and see what Thurman has. That is what they want to know. That’s what all this is about.

“I have a good contract this year. This is what I’m going to say. This is an opening act. I like emotion and accumulation. I feel like a different man. 36 years. I am not 26 years old, I could change the name. Initially, everyone saw power when it was 22-0, 20 knockouts. I have made my seventh silent retirement, ”said Thurman.
