Saturday Boxing Preview: Keith Thurman ends hiatus, Claressa Shields also returns to action

It’s been a quiet start to boxing’s 2022, with things not really expected to ramp up until March-April. In the meantime, we have three major boxing shows on February 5th to look forward to. One is a $75 pay-per-view, another one is $30 if you’re outside the United Kingdom, and another one is on DAZN. I know it’s pricey but so is everything else these days.

Let’s get to the preview!

Biggest Event: Keith Thurman vs. Mario Barrios (9 PM ET, FOX PPV - $75)

Former WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman (29-1-1 NC, 22 KOs) has not fought since he suffered a split decision loss to the legendary Manny Pacquiao all the way back in July 2019.
