Sebastian Fundora will finally make his first defense of his average WBC and WBO weight titles after a 12 -month layoff, defending himself against the Challenger Chordale Booker this Saturday, March 22, on PBC on Prime Video at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
Booker challenge
Booker (23-1, 11 kos) is not the ideal opponent for Fundora because he is not well known and has never been beating anyone to note during his career. “ The imposing inferno ”, Fundora wanted to fight Errol SpenceBut the fight failed. They would have fought on March 29 if the competition had occurred.
Fundora (21-1-1, 13 kos) has not fought since his victory over the 154 LB WBO Tim Tszyu champion on March 30 of last year, and there is no way to know how free time will affect his performance. It was an exhausting fight that left Fundora with a broken nose that took months to heal.
The Fundora-Booker of Saturday TripleHeader will start at 8 p.m. He / 5 p.m. PT, with the streaming action exclusively on the video premium.
If Fundora is victorious on Saturday, he has many options at 154 to fight. The interim champion of 154 lb of WBC, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and # 1, the competitor classified WBO, Xander Zayas, made a fight.
You cannot exclude Errol Spence which is back for a possible fight, and there is always a revenge match with Tim Tszyu. Terence Crawford would be the perfect fight for Fundora, but that would probably not happen because he should face Canelo Alvarez at 168 years in September.
Undercard fights for Saturday
- Jesus Ramos Jr. against Guido Emmanuel Schramm – The main support fight planned for 10 laps with the average junior weight.
- Elijah Garcia against Terrell Gausha in Middleweight in a 10 round in the first fight of Saturday broadcast on PBC on Prime Video.
“We have won this title to be called thus,” Sebastian Fundora told Combination He is the champion Unified WBC and WBO Junior of medium weights after his victory last year against Tim Tszyu. “It is # 3 or # 4 [correction: #5] With WBO? He is up there for a reason. I’m almost sure he fought his ** OFF. We are ready for everything Booker brings, “said Fundora on the challenger, Chordale Booker.
