Fresh off his big upset victory over Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs) last Sunday in Brisbane, Australia, newly crowned WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) says he’s targeting welterweight champions Keith Thurman and Errol Spence Jr. for unification fights.

Those unification fights will likely need to wait until 2018, however, as Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum have already said they want to use the rematch clause they have for a second fight against the Australian. Arum is saying that Brisbane is the first option for the Horn-Pacquiao rematch.

“Now we got to look at the other guys that are up there as well, which is Keith Thurman and Errol Spence,” said Horn at the post-fight press conference last Saturday. “Those are two targets on the hit list.”

Spence (22-0, 19 KOs) took to social media last Sunday morning to let the boxing world know that he wants to fight Horn, who he refers to as “food.”

“I want the winner of the next fight,” said Spence on his Twitter.

“Looking at food.”Horn beat Pacquiao by the judges’ scores 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113.

There was some disagreement among the boxing public about whether Horn truly deserved the victory. Some fans felt that Pacquiao was ripped off by the judges.

ESPN commentator Teddy Atlas and former 2 division world champion Tim Bradley both felt that Pacquiao did enough to earn the victory.

They both saw it as a competitive fight, but it was one that should have gone to Horn.
