Thurman feels he will get the chance to fight Spence in the future. However, Spence is on record saying he will never fight Thurman.
“We all want to test The Truth,” Thurman referred to Spence with his boxing nickname. Keith Thurman looks forward to the day Al Haymon calls Errol Spence to offer him a pay-per-view fight. Thurman says The Truth will likely agree to the face-off.
