Keith Thurman was an undefeated title holder until he lost a split decision to Manny Pacquiao in 2019.
He's only fought once since then, a win.
His next fight might be against a woman.
Claressa Shields is the current WBA, WBC, IBF, The Ring, and WBO middleweight woman world champion.
She challenged Thurman to a fight.

He said he may do it.
“Well, look, I can fight for any charity event, okay?" Thurman said about the challenge. "We can raise money, and we can let you try to showcase your skills and talent. I probably use my jab only, you know…It’s just that this is not what boxing is to me.”
Is this something you would be interested in?
