Manny Pacquiao insists he will prove his ‘time is not over yet’ when he takes on Keith Thurman on July 20.

While he may be coming to the end of an illustrious career, 40-year-old Pacquaio insists he still has plenty to offer boxing, choosing to fight Thurman to prove exactly that.

“I chose Keith Thurman because he’s undefeated and I want to prove that at age 40 I can still beat a great fighter like Keith,” Pacquiao told a press conference on Tuesday.

While Thurman says a meeting with the eight-weight world champion is ‘a dream come true’, he has vowed to end his career the same was ‘Pac-Man’ retired Oscar De La Hoya 11 years ago.
