Keith Thurman has expressed his excitement of electrifying the fans ahead of his welterweight showdown with eight-division champion Manny Pacquiao. The pair finally get the chance to commence battle on July 20 at the MGM Grand. Thurman defends his 147-lb WBA championship. The American is undefeated from 29 bouts. Thurman holds a win over Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter on his resume. ?One Time? claims it?s now his time to shine. He said: ?I?m just happy to be sharing the ring with a legend, Manny Pacquiao, and have this beautiful opportunity to be performing once again at MGM Grand. To be showcasing my skills and my talent to the world. ?I?m just creating my own legacy and leaving my own mark in this beautiful sport of boxing.? After a long layoff, Thurman marked his return to the ring in January against Josesito Lopez, in what was an underwhelming majority decision victory. However, ?One Time? has brushed off criticism hurled his way and believes it was the type of fight he needed after a near two-year exile from the sport.
