World Boxing News quoted Van Heerden saying:"I'm a perfect matchup for Keith Thurman right now. If he were to fight Pacquiao again or Errol Spence Jr, . all southpaws, I'm the perfect guy. Plus, I already fought Spence. Keith hasn't fought in a year; It's perfect for TV. I know I will beat him."
Nathan says the matchup between the self-exiled South African and the highly rated American will be a great fight. "Keith's loss to Manny was an upset, I believe, so he needs to redeem himself and Chris is a good opponent for that. Chris is also a fringe contender who needs such a big fight." The man whose success has seen him win BSA's trainer of the year awards two years in succession in 2017 and 2018, added:"This is a situation of one guy wanting to get back to the top position against a guy who wants to impress. Chris must continue pushing and pushing for this fight to happen because I believe it is a fight that can and should be made."
