Fundora injures hand, title defense vs. Thurman postponed
Sebastian Fundora suffered a hand injury, forcing him to postpone his junior middleweight title defense against Keith Thurman on October 25 in Las Vegas, sources tell The Ring.

The fight, which was set to headline a PBC on Prime Video PPV, will be rescheduled along with the rest of the card, which includes the O’Shaquie Foster-Stephen Fulton junior lightweight title fight, sources said.

Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) is rated No. 2 at 154 pounds by The Ring. “The Towering Inferno” is coming off a seventh-round TKO victory over Tim Tszyu in a July rematch. Fundora scored a split decision over Tszyu last year to win the title in an upset. The 27-year-old has dizzying height for a 154-pounder at 6 foot, 5½ inches.




Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs) moved up to junior middleweight in March with a third-round KO victory over Brock Jarvis in Australia. The fight was Thurman’s first in more than three years and was meant to set up a title clash with Tszyu later this year in Australia.

Thurman enjoyed a lengthy title run at 147 pounds. His lone professional defeat came against superstar Manny Pacquiao in 2019.
