WBC and WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora will fight Errol Spence, scheduled for March 29 in Las Vegas. The fight is still under negotiation.
Former unified welterweight champion Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) will be inactive for 20 months when his fight with “The Towering Inferno” Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) takes place.
Errol turns 35 on March 3rd. The fight is scheduled to be shown on PBC on Prime Video PPV. No word yet on the pay-per-view price, but it’s likely close to the $80 range.
@FerSabatiniBox and @DanRafael1 broke the news about the Fundora vs Spence fight on March 29th.
Errol’s recent encounters
Spence was coming off a ninth round loss to Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford on July 29, 2023. Errol took a lot of punishment in that fight and was never competitive. Physically, he did not look like the fighter he had been in 2018 and earlier in his career. Some believe the combination of injuries Spence sustained in his 2019 car crash, sparring, inactivity, weight gain and age have taken a toll on him.
Fundora, 6’5″, is coming off a long layoff himself, having last fought on April 30, 2024, defeating WBO 154 lb champion Tim Tszyu via a 12-round split decision. It was a tough fight for both, leaving Tszyu a bloody mess from a headbutt earlier in the fight.
