I'm confident that I can steal rounds by getting inside and throwing punches.

When I say I'm a true welterweight I'm talking about every fighter that has ever moved into the welterweight division.

I only want to fight real champions; I want to fight real opponents, so that I can climb the latter.

All I ever wanted was to be like Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard. Back in the day American people knew who they were and I want them to now know Keith 'One Time' Thurman.

I'm in love with boxing. It fell into my lap and I have been in love with it ever since.

When it comes to boxing I find a way to clear my mind. When it comes to boxing you have to fight. Clear your mind and fight. You can't really think of outside things when you're in the ring.

My boxing inspiration is to one day become world champion, to go as far as I can go and see where it takes me.
