July 29th will be the day when the bout between the legends Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. takes place. The headlining match is one of the most awaited and asked-for clashes in recent history. Recently, Keith Thurman expressed his excitement about the match in his interview with Brian Custer, the host of the podcast The Last Stand on SHOWTIME Sports. 

The exclusive conversation between ‘One Time’ and Custer ranged from topics like his next bout to the upcoming fight between Crawford and Spence, and his possible fights with Vergil Ortiz and Jaron Ennis. Welterweight division boxer, Keith Thurman earlier announced that he will fight Yordenis Ugas in the August of 2023. This will be the first time that Thurman will enter the ring after his winning bout with Mario Barrios.

“History in the making”: says Keith Thurman on the Upcoming Bout Between Spence and Crawford.

In the candid conversation with Brian Custer, Thurman spoke elaborately about the much-awaited fight between Terence Crawford and ‘The Truth.’ He said this bout is exactly what the fans wanted. This will add drama and further hype to the “shenanigans” fights that have been happening lately. Thurman said, “ I want to see the greats, you know?” He further added about the constant back-and-forth negotiations the two boxers undertook before finally breaking a deal to fight. ” If they were going to keep clashing and did not come up with a deal, Thurman would have popped right in. I am not hard to negotiate,” he said. 

Furthering the conversation about the Hall of Famers, Thurman said, “It’s history in the making. Hall of Famer, you know? Whoever wins, they are guaranteed in the Hall of Fame. But at the end of the day, somebody is going to have a few more sentences underneath their name when they get handed that plaque.”
