At school, Keith and Debra attended boxing matches and once got to a show fight with the local celebrity Ben Getty. The teenager, impressed by what he saw, then started visiting a nearby gym.

By chance, the recent idol was his mentor, and Thurman began to lead a full-fledged sports life. The champion still remembers his first fight, held in 1997 in the city of Wascula, during which he scared his opponent to death, and the meeting was stopped by unanimous decision of the judges.

Since 2003, Thurman has competed in amateur boxing tournaments and won six national championships, including the National PAL Championships, and in qualifying for the pre-Olympic team of the United States of America in a hard-fought fight with Demetrius Andrade survived several rounds and won a silver medal.

At the beginning of his professional career, Thurman, who is 171 cm tall and weighing about 66 kg, defeated worthy rivals including Kensky Rodney, Brandon Buchanan, Carlos Pena and Favio Medina, and then knocked out the undefeated Cuban Stalin Lopez and for the force of the blow earned the nickname One Time.

In 2012, Keith brutally defeated boxing veteran Carlos Kintana, winning the first WBO NABO and WBO Inter-Continental title, and four months later became the tournament's best fighter in San Antonio and interim WBA champion.

Over the next year, in a fight with eminent boxers Jesus Soto Karass, Julio Diaz and Leonard Bundu Thurman three times confirmed the title and in the status of the current holder of the gold belt entered in 2015.

This time, to defend the championship, the young American needed in front of several million spectators to defeat compatriots Luis Collazo and Robert Guerrero and call the best boxer of the WBC.

Keith's fight with Sean Porter was very intense, and for 12 rounds the initiative passed from one hand to another. As a result, the judges preferred long-range attacks, and Thurman, who received a fee of $1.4 million, held the title with a 2-point advantage.

In early 2017, it was announced that Keith will compete for the title of super champion in a unification match, where his opponent will be Danny Garcia, and he performed well in front of a large audience of New York's Barclays Center, receiving the Super-Title of the World Boxing Association and the status of the new winner of the World Boxing Council.

However, due to injuries that caused a long absence from the ring, Keith had to give up the WBC belt, but after recovery, training and a fight with Josecito Lopez, he defended the WBA title for the fifth time.
