WBC and WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora will fight Errol Spence, tentatively scheduled for March 29 in Las Vegas. The fight is still in the negotiation phase.
Former unified light heavyweight champion Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) will be out of action for 20 months when his fight with ‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundor (21-1-1, 13 KOs) takes place. Errol turns 35 on March 3rd. The fight is expected to be shown on PBC on Prime Video PPV. No word yet on the price for the pay-per-view, but it will likely be close to the $80 range.
@FerSabatiniBox and @DanRafael1 broke the news about the Fundora vs. Spence fight on March 29th.
Spence is coming off a ninth round knockout loss to Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford on July 29, 2023. Errol took a lot of punishment in that fight and was not competitive at all. Physically, he didn’t look like the fighter he was in 2018 and earlier in his career. Some believe that a combination of injuries Spence suffered in a 2019 car accident, sparring, inactivity, weight gain and age have worn him down.
Fundora, 6’5″, is coming off a long layoff himself, having last fought on April 30, 2024, defeating WBO 154lb champion Tim Tszyu by split decision over 12 rounds. It was a tough fight for both men, leaving Tszyu a bloody mess from a head clash earlier in the fight.
