Sebastian Fundora Vs. Tim Tszyu 2
US boxer Sebastian Fundora speaks during the press conference ahead of his July 19 WBC super … More
Sebastian Fundora (22-1-1 with 14 knockouts) opened his boxing career on a 18-0-1 run before he got the opportunity to fight for a title. In April 2022, Fundora faced Erickson Lubin for the vacant WBC interim light middleweight belt. Fundora won that fight by stoppage in the ninth round.
Fundora defended his belt in October 2022 with a unanimous decision win over Carlos Ocampo. His title run ended in April 2023 when Brian Mendoza knocked out Fundora in the early moments of the seventh round of their matchup.
Fundora returned to the ring nearly a year later to face Tim Tszyu at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in the main event of a PBC card. Tszyu’s WBO junior middleweight title was on the line as well as the vacant WBC strap
Fundora won that fight via split decision, scoring an upset split decision (112-116, 116-112, 115-113). Fundora defended his titles in March of this year, knocking out Chordale Booker in the fourth round at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.
The WBO stripped Fundora of his belt when he elected to face Tszyu in a rematch instead of WBO mandatory challenger Xander Zayas.
ESPN has Fundora ranked as the No. 3 junior middleweight behind Terence Crawford and Vergil Ortiz Jr.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 03: Tim Tszyu speaks prior to his WBC super welterweight rematch … More
Tim Tszyu (25-2 with 18 KOs) moved to 22-0 in March 2023 when he knocked out Tony Harrison to become the interim WBO junior middleweight champion. He was elevated to full champ when Jermell Charlo faced Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title in September 2023.
In his first title defense, Tszyu defeated Mendoza via unanimous decision in Australia in October 2023. Tszyu’s next defense was his bloody bout against Fundora.
When Tszyu returned to action in October 2024 it was against IBF junior middleweight champ Bakhram Murtazaliev, who knocked Tszyu down four times before Tszyu’s corner threw in the towel.
That loss had many wondering if Tszyu could get back to a title fight. However, an April 2025 TKO victory over Joseph Spencer put Tszyu back in the title fight conversation.
ESPN has Tszyu ranked at No. 6 at 154 pounds.

“I’m happy to fight Tszyu a second time. He’s a great fighter. I’m happy to share another 12 rounds with him. I think I beat him clearly the first time, and we have to do it again. It’s just the business of boxing. It didn’t bother me. I’ll fight Zayas. We’re going to have to fight eventually. I don’t get to pick my fights. That’s my promoter’s job.
“One day it’s this guy, the next day it’s someone else. I just train and fight whoever they put me in against … In my last fight you saw a lot more adjustments and cleaner boxing. We’re growing even more in this fight. He looked good against Spencer. He did his thing, did great. We’ve been training very hard. I expect a great fight. I don’t see this rematch going the distance,” said Fundora.

“It’s definitely unfinished business. I could feel his shots, feel his distance and I was able to land shots. A bit more present this time. That’s my aim. It’s a story, something I can tell [about] being able to come back. Being able to deal with adversity is a big thing for me – to inspire the next generation, the youth. Just because there’s a setback doesn’t mean there’s not a place for a comeback – in anything you do in life, not just boxing,” Tszyu said.
