On March 12, 2025, No Limit Boxing comes to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion, where former unified welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs) makes his long-awaited return against Australian contender Brock Jarvis (22-1, 20 KOs). This 10-round super welterweight clash, contested for the WBA International Title, marks Thurman’s first fight in over three years, since his commanding decision victory over Mario Barrios in February 2022. For the 36-year-old American, this bout is a chance to shake off ring rust and reassert his dominance, while Jarvis, a 27-year-old knockout artist, aims to pull off a career-defining upset on home soil. The stakes are high, with a potential blockbuster showdown against Tim Tszyu looming for the winner.
Thurman enters the ring as a seasoned veteran with a resume that boasts victories over elite fighters like Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia, his only blemish a split-decision loss to Filipino ring legend Manny Pacquiao in 2019. Known for his slick movement, sharp jab, and devastating power—earning him the “One Time” moniker—Thurman has promised a comeback rivaling the likes of Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. However, his prolonged inactivity and history of injuries raise questions about whether he can recapture the magic of his prime. Facing a younger, hungrier opponent, Thurman will need to rely on his experience and ring IQ to counter Jarvis’s aggressive, power-punching style.
Brock Jarvis, meanwhile, is a rising star in Australian boxing, carrying a gaudy 91% knockout rate into this matchup. The Sydneysider’s career took a hit in 2022 when he suffered a first-round knockout loss to Liam Paro, but he’s since rebounded with two straight stoppage wins, showing resilience and a relentless forward pressure that could trouble Thurman. Jarvis’s game plan will likely hinge on his physicality and high output, looking to exploit any signs of age or rust in the American. At 5’9” with a two-inch height advantage, he’ll aim to close the distance, land heavy shots, and test Thurman’s durability—something few have managed to do effectively.
The contrast in styles promises an intriguing battle: Thurman’s technical finesse and counterpunching versus Jarvis’s raw power and aggression. Pundits like Shawn Porter have pegged this as a 60/40 fight in Thurman’s favor, citing his ability to control range and tempo, but warn that Jarvis could turn the tide if he pushes a relentless pace. For Thurman, a convincing win could set the stage for a lucrative clash with Tszyu, while Jarvis has the chance to catapult himself into the global spotlight. Expect fireworks early as both fighters look to impose their will, with the outcome potentially hinging on whether Thurman’s savvy can outlast Jarvis’s youthful vigor on March 12.
