Kell Brook defeated ‘Showtime’ Shawn Porter to win the IBF welterweight championship in a 12 round majority decision, one judge scored the bought a 114-114 draw whilst that was overruled by scores of 117-111 and 116-112 in Brook’s favor.
Before the bout, Keith Thurman was spotted at ringside and was given a interview in which he stated when he would be back fighting and who he would like to fight. Thurman said he plans on being back in the ring in October or November after resting his current shoulder injury, he has been having rehab on the shoulder the past three weeks, Thurman has been out the ring since April after knocking out Julio Diaz in the 4th round. Thurman is one of the bright prospects in the division and boasts a record of 23-0 with 21 knockouts, that is a very very high knockout percentage for a welterweight which makes many fighters have a longer think about fighting Thurman.
