Keith Thurman wants to leap straight back into the big-fight waters and face Terence Crawford next, despite Kell Brook reportedly being lined up for Crawford.
Thurman (29-1, 22 KOs) lost his unblemished record in his most recent outing, via split decision to Manny Pacquiao last July.
However, "One Time" wants to get straight back into championship action after losing the WBA (Super) welterweight crown in that bout and views WBO kingpin Crawford (36-0, 27 KOs) as the next destination.
“Send the contract, send the contract, send the contract and let me post it on Instagram and sign it live baby, sign it live,” Thurman said on Brian Custer’s Last Stand Podcast.
“I’ll do my first signing live, baby. They don’t know me. Crawford calling me out like that and saying that about me, you don’t know me, man.
“You don’t know what kind of contracts I’ve had in my face. I’ve never been presented with a contract with a real fight. That’s petty at the end of the day.”
Another big fight linked to Thurman is WBC and IBF welterweight champ Errol Spence Jr. (26-0, 21), but Thurman says that can wait.
“Right now, I want Crawford more man," he said. "He’s gotten under my skin.
“Errol, that’s a timeline issue. I know how the game works. We got the same manager; that’s a timeline issue.
"This Crawford dude, send me a contract bro, don’t act like I’m going to run from you. You never weighed 147, you never got respect in the game anyway at 147. You haven’t pushed the buttons at 147.
“You ain’t touched Shawn Porter. And you ain’t touched Thurman. You ain’t touched (Danny) Garcia. You ain’t Spence. I’m going to run out of fingers. I can name all of my opponents you ain’t touched.
“Send the contract. Tell me when you want it. Do you want it before Christmas? Merry Christmas, I’ll take the check!”
