Sebastian Fundora defeated Tim Tszyu via a corner stoppage at the end of the seventh round to retain his WBC 154-pound belt.

It was Fundora’s second win against Tszyu, who once again suffered a cut which impacted his performance. The fight kicked off at a blistering pace, as Fundora dropped Tszyu in the first round with a one-two combo. Tszyu got up and fired back with a hard right of his own. Tszyu showed resilience in the second, landing clean shots to the head and body. However, Fundora’s pressure, reach, and volume meant he began to take control of the fight as Tim suffered a cut over his right eye.

In Round 4, Tszyu found himself trapped in the corner as Fundora unleashed a relentless flurry. Yet, he refused to go away, landing a sharp left hook at the bell. By Round 5, Tszyu snapped Fundora’s head back with a power shot, as he refused to give in. However Tszyu’s punches simply didn’t carry the same weight as Fundora’s, whose uppercuts started breaking through in round 7 and following the round, Tszyu’s corner made the decision to stop the fight.

Fundora now wants the winner of Xander Zayas vs. Jorge Garcia Perez, or a unification bout with IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev, next. Fundora also expressed his interest in facing Errol Spence Jr., should the former unified welterweight champ return to the ring. Spence has not boxed since Terence Crawford stopped him in 2023 in their Undisputed Welterweight Title fight. Regardless of who is next, Fundora wants to unify the division.

“Yes, I do want to fight one more time this year. If I could fight two more times this year, why not. Whoever. We have this fight [Xander Zayas vs. Jorge Garcia Perez] next week [July 26] for the WBO. I want to see that fight. I want to see the outcome of that fight. Maybe we will capture that title again. Yeah, definitely. He [Bakhram Murtazaliev] has the IBF. That’s a nice-looking title. I like that red title,” Fundora said
