The official Twitter handle of PBC posted a clip of Thurman from the gym to send several fans into a frenzy. Thurman didn’t only flex his style but also advised the netizens to experience something new in 2021.

‘One Time’ said, “Its Monday fun day everybody. Rise, rise with the Sun. Get up, get up, get moving, do something new. If you aren’t an athlete, if you are not in the gym, you don’t have to be in the gym to do something new. Read a new book, read a new article. Go outdoors, make a new friend I know it’s COVID and everything, it don’t matter man.”

He added, “It’s 2021. We are in a new year. You already know what I did new, hairs gone. It is what it is, it’s gone.”

That said, 2021 calls for bigger challenges and coming off from a defeat might not be easy for Thurman. He will have even bigger challenges ahead in his boxing career.

What’s next for Keith Thurman?

The entire welterweight division is stacked at this stage and Thurman can opt for any of the big fights. While fans are expecting Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. to lock horns, the matchup is still not final.

Thurman can have a crack at the world titles by facing any of them. But Shawn Porter has already desired to fight Crawford. So, Thurman can aim for Errol Spence Jr. to get his hands over the world title again. Apart from that, several more options are waiting for him and Thurman needs to step inside the ring to validate them.
