Hes from Florida.

Keith Thurman, Jr. was born to Keith Thurman Sr., a high school and college wrestler, and Debra Thorsen. “My mother drove down to Florida while I was in her womb,” he says. “So, I’m born and raised a Floridian, but my mother, my father and grandparents are from Ohio.”
After settling into Clearwater, Florida, his father found a construction job and, later, a position working at a candy factory. “He hopped in a job really quick and became a provider here in Florida and he helped raise me,” Thurman recalls.
His parents spilt up when he was young, and Keith grew up the oldest of four children. It wasn’t long before the boxing bug took hold.
“My dad wrestled in high school and when I was a little kid, he was partaking in karate. And that was one of the things that got me interested in fighting in the first place, watching my dad train and see him develop certain martial art skills,” he says. “He would show me a few moves and we’d watch Kung Fu movies together - you know, Bruce Lee and Steven Segal - he was a big Steven Segal fan. That was a small motivation to me that just led up to me being a boxer.”
Would post the pics of his parents but its on another site...
