A long-delayed junior middleweight title fight between Sebastian Fundora and Keith Thurman is back on the table, with both sides now targeting an early 2026 showdown. The bout had originally been scheduled for October, with Thurman set to challenge Fundora for his 154-pound title. Those plans were derailed when Fundora suffered a hand injury, forcing the fight to be postponed before contracts could be finalized.
Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs), rated No. 2 at junior middleweight by The Ring. Has emerged as one of boxing’s most unconventional champions. Nicknamed “The Towering Inferno,” the 27-year-old stands a staggering 6-foot-5½ an almost unheard-of frame for the division and uses his height and volume punching to overwhelm opponents.
