A massive welterweight clash is in the works and it’s headed to the fight capital of the world just before Christmas.

According to a report by ESPN.com, 147-pound titlist Keith “One Time” Thurman will lock horns with Shawn Porter on Dec.12 and their duel is headed for one of the major casino resorts in Las Vegas.

The Thurman-Porter clash will be televised by Showtime, though the network declined to comment about the mega fight.

Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) is quickly becoming one of boxing’s brightest young stars and a win over the former IBF welterweight champion would be a feather in his cap. Thurman captured the WBA welterweight title by defeating Robert Guerrero over 12 rounds in March on Premier Boxing Champions’ debut on NBC. He defended in July by taking out tough veteran Luis Collazo in the seventh.

Kenny Porter: No Shawn Porter-Keith Thurman – yet

 

Word has been spreading like wildfire that a big time matchup between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter will take place on Dec. 12 and be aired on Showtime. However, we may have to pump the brakes on the excitement because when RingTV.com reached out to Porter’s father and trainer Kenny Porter, he was very cut and dry with his response.

“No fight to my knowledge,” Porter said to RingTV.com via text message. “No calls! No contract! No date!”

 

Team Porter has been actively seeking a big name to face before the end of the year after scoring a high-profile win over Adrien Broner back in June. Kenny Porter told RingTV.com that they originally had plans to go after Danny Garcia but Garcia’s team turned down the fight. They soon turned their attention to the heavy-handed Keith Thurman, who was recently seen scoring a seventh-round TKO against Luis Collazo to defend his WBA welterweight title.
