ABOUT KEITH THURMAN:
Boxing has been a lifelong passion for Keith Thurman, who entered the sport at the age of 7 and has been primed for stardom ever since. His unbeaten record of 27 wins, 22 by knockout, has earned him the respect of the boxing world and being pound-for-pound one of the top ten fighters regardless of weight class.

He started in a Clearwater youth boxing program with his late trainer Ben Getty, and after Getty's death St Pete Boxing Club head trainer Dan Birmingham stepped up to lead Thurman to his world title and current unbeaten record. Together team 'One Time' has almost 60 years of professional boxing experience between them, always based in Central Florida.

Thurman turned 2016 from a year of potential frustration into one of introspection, rejuvenation, and, ultimately, a "Fight Of The Year" victory over former champion Shawn Porter. His win over Porter catapulted him into a clash of unbeaten welterweight champions when he steps into the ring and meets Garcia on March 4 in defense of his WBA crown and in pursuit of Garcia's WBC title.
