Former world welterweight champion Keith Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) allegedly wanted $10 million to fight top prospect Jaron “Boots” Ennis (29-0, 27 KOs). This was stated by the father-coach of the latter
YouTube-channel In This Corner Boxing 24.
“Thurman wanted $10 million for the Boots fight. Kamon, man, you won’t earn 10 lyam. Which?! Well, yes, for you it’s a big risk with little benefit, but you didn’t get so much even for a fight with Pacquiao, ”said Bosie Ennis.
Downtime and injuries severely undermined the career of 33-year-old Keith. He’s only fought once since knocking out the veteran Pacquiao in July 2019 in early February 2022. We wrote about it: Thurman did not eat through the class. Give him Tszyu.
Thurman wanted to get a fight with either Terence Crawford or Errol Spence, but in vain, although he is the latter’s mandatory contender in the WBC line. But in general, Keith agrees to fight Conor Benn in England.
As for Ennis, he is mandatory for the same Spence, but according to the IBF.
The heavyweight knockout coach thinks Thurman will be stopped by Ennis.
