Pacquiao vs. Thurman Update: 'They Can Bring Thurman Today Or Anytime,' Pacquiao Says
Eight-division title holder Manny Pacquiao has vowed to fight WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman at any given time.
A couple of weeks from now, Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao will finally square off with WBA welterweight champ Keith Thurman at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But while the bout is fast approaching already, it seems like Pacquiao is more than ready for Thurman that according to the legend, he will face the young fighter today, or any given time.
For the past several weeks, Thurman has been running his mouth in his interviews while Pacquiao has managed to be quite steady but sometimes it is hard to tell how much Thurman is too much for a Manny Pacquiao.
In one of Pacman’s recent interviews a few days ago, Pacquiao appears to not be worried about the titles on the line with his fight against Thurman as he threw on a challenge for everybody to bring the undefeated champ to him today or anytime and he will bring it on, Boxing Scene noted.
“They can bring the enemy today or anytime from now and face him off. I have been preparing for this fight for more than a month, dividing my time as a lawmaker and a fighter and I believe I’ve done enough to prepare myself, for the fight," Pacquiao pointed.
Surely, many will think that it is kind of unusual for Pacquiao to throw these type of challenges because of his known humble persona, but there is nothing to worry about as the future boxing hall of famer still managed to shift back to his calm and focused character as he credited the efforts of his camp en route to Thurman fight.
“Thanks to my trainers, who like me have been sacrificing their time and efforts to prepare me for this, one of the most important fights of my career as a fighter. But most of all I thank God for giving me, at my age, all the strength and resolve to continue serving Him in the best way I can," Pacquiao said.
Just recently, Thurman blasted Pacquiao once again when he criticized the legend’s performance against Aussie boxer Jeff Horn, to whom Pacquiao lost to.
Meanwhile, Pacman has kept himself very busy and serious with his training as a video of him showing off his hand speed hit the internet. According to Pacquaio’s camp, the 40-year-old legend was inspired to prove Thurman wrong when he threatened to retire Pacquiao after their superfight, Bad Left Hook reported.
