Before Shawn Porter fought Kell Brook there was a lot of talk about Porter facing one of the most dangerous and avoided fighters in the welterweight division , Keith Thurman Jr. When Porter lost to Brook that talk died down a bit but Brook’s name has replaced Porter on a possible upcoming opponent to face Thurman and the “Golden Boy” himself Oscar De La Hoya has stated that Thurman will go to the UK to fight Brook.
“[I] talked to Keith Thurman last night and said he will go to the UK and challenge Kell Brook,” said De La Hoya.
