Sebastian Fundora and Errol Spence Jr. have agreed to a highly anticipated junior middleweight title fight set for October in Dallas, sources told ESPN. Fundora, who will defend his WBC and WBO belts, claimed the titles in a thrilling split-decision upset over Tim Tszyu in March. Following that victory, Spence confronted Fundora in the ring, eager to test the 6-foot-5½-inch champion’s reach and resolve.
Fundora (21-1-1, 14 KOs), known for his towering height and impressive reach, bounced back from a seventh-round KO loss to Brian Mendoza to secure his first title. Spence (28-1, 22 KOs), a former welterweight champion making his 154-pound debut, aims to reclaim his position among boxing’s elite after a ninth-round TKO loss to Terence Crawford. This bout promises high stakes and intense action as both fighters seek redemption and glory.
