The World Boxing Organization (WBO) has officially mandated a clash between its newly crowned 154-pound champion, Sebastian Fundora, and the formidable three-division champion, Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford. This directive follows the gritty and riveting victory of Fundora over the previously undefeated Tim Tszyu in a split decision on March 30th, during the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on Prime pay-per-view event. Fundora’s triumph not only secured him the WBO title but also the vacant WBC 154-pound championship, setting the stage for a high-stakes mandatory defense against Crawford.
‼️ The WBO have now officially ordered Sebastian Fundora to defend his WBC & WBO super-welterweight world titles vs Terence Crawford next. Parties have until April 25th to agree a deal, then purse bids.

The WBO’s decision is rooted in the conditions set forth when sanctioning the Tszyu-Fundora bout, emphasizing the importance of the victor facing the mandatory challenger, Crawford, within a 180-day timeframe. With negotiations set to commence shortly, the boxing community is abuzz with anticipation for this formidable matchup. While Fundora, under the promotion of Sampson Boxing, LLC., revels in his recent victory, Crawford stands as a promotional free agent, adding an intriguing layer to the impending negotiations. As the boxing landscape braces for this titanic encounter, fans and pundits alike are keenly aware that the showdown between Fundora and Crawford will not only be a test of skill and will but also a defining moment in their illustrious careers.
