Former unified world welterweight champion Keith Thurman has expressed his desire to take on ring legend Manny Pacquiao once more following their July 2019 encounter.
Thurman (29-1-0, 22 KOs & 1 ND) took the first loss of his career via split decision that night after promising to retire the 41-year-old during the pre-fight build-up.
‘One Time’ said that he wants the chance to avenge the one blemish on his pro record in what would be an immediate rematch with Pacquiao, after describing the Filipino boxing icon as a ‘little bunny rabbit’.
“I’d like to run it right back,” Thurman told The AK and Barak Show. “Don’t see nobody [else], Pac. It’s going to be boring anyway. Come see me. You did it one time, let’s do it one more time. Do it another time. It’s just action. I’m addicted to action. I loved being in the ring with that hippity-hoppity little speedy little punk. I want that action.
“He’s everything that I said he was. He’s a little bunny rabbit who hops around and jumps at you with them T-Rex arms. It is what it is, we know certain things about certain athletes. But that don’t mean you can stop it. We know certain things.”
