Since it's already less than 8 weeks away - some nobody that'll make him look good & lift his spirits, i imagine.

Thurman, Matthysse Doubleheader in Play For April 26
By Rick Reeno
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is planning to stage a "power punch" Showtime televised doubleheader on April 26th. The event could potentially land at StubHub Center in Carson, California - other venues are being explored as well.
The fight would showcase two of Golden Boy's biggest hitters, Keith Thurman (22-0, 20KOs) and Lucas Matthysse (34-3, 32KOs), in separate fights.
Last year, Thurman made his mark at welterweight - with impressive victories over Diego Chaves, Jesus Soto Karass and Jan Zaveck. Matthysse had a mixed bag of tricks. He blew out Mike Dallas and Lamont Peterson in a combined four rounds, but then lost a twelve round unanimous decision to WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia on the Mayweather-Canelo undercard last September.
"I'm thinking about April 26th, putting together some sort of a big guns card, where we have two of the biggest punchers in the sport and maybe the two the biggest punchers in the sport - not against each other, but on the same card against formidable opponents. And that would be Keith Thurman fighting somebody and Lucas Matthysse fighting somebody," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.
"It might happen in Carson, but frankly you can put these guys anywhere. It's like the 'sluggers are coming to town.' Whether you are Mexican or Filipino or Chinese, you would want to watch these guys. If you are a fight fan, you know that these two guys always deliver."

Amir Khan: Will not be fighting Adrien Broner any time soon
Amir Khan's trainer Virgil Hunter has confirmed that the Bolton man's next fight will not be against Adrien 'The Problem' Broner.
Khan was linked with a fight against Broner after seeing a fight against Floyd Mayweather fall through.
Mayweather has opted to fight Marcos Maidana - the only man who has beaten Broner in 28 fights - leading to speculation that the Cincinnati man could be on Khan's radar.
But Hunter says his charge has something else lined up, insisting UK fight fans will be pleased with what the 27-year-old has in store.
"I can say that it will not be Adrien Broner," Hunter told Sky Sports. "People talk a lot in this business but I can assure you it won't be Adrien Broner.
"I'm not at liberty to (say more). This is a business and out of courtesy to my whole team, I don't think it would be right.
"But I think you'll be happy in the next few days when you get clarity on the whole situation. I'm not at liberty to speak about it but I think in the next few days it will become apparent why it is a blessing in disguise.
"I'll be in England next week to continue his training. He will be fighting within a period of 8-10 weeks so we're happy about that.

@Newzz In that case, you think Burns would take that fight at 140?
No, because Ricky Burns was already ducking Adrien Broner at 135 for a long ass time. He definitely doesnt want it at 140. Plus, he just fought last month. He wont be ready in time.
I think Zab Judah, Dierry Jean, or John Molina may get the call![]()
