Las Vegas - Will the fight happen? Both fighters want it. WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman (26-0, 22KOs) and 'Showtime' Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16KOs) faced off in the media room of the MGM Grand.

The two fighters are in town to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. defend his WBC/WBA welterweight titles against Andre Berto on Saturday night.

There have been discussions to match the two Al Haymon managed fighters on a fall Premier Boxing Champions date.

Thurman has been in the ring twice in 2015, winning a twelve round unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero in March and then stopping Luis Collazo in July.

Porter was in action back in June, when he stunned former three division champion Adrien Broner by way of twelve round unanimous decision. Prior to that, he drilled late replacement Erick Bone in five rounds in March.
