Overview
- Sebastian Fundora retained his WBC super-welterweight title with a seventh-round technical knockout after Tszyu declined to continue at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
- Standing 6ft 6in tall, Fundora used his height and reach advantage to dictate the pace and keep Tszyu at bay throughout the rematch.
- Tszyu was knocked down in the opening round and suffered a cut above his eye in round two, which contributed to his decision not to answer the bell for round eight.
- Tszyu was discharged from hospital after the fight, and his promoter George Rose stressed that his long-term health will guide any decision on his future.
- Tszyu’s loss stalls his bid to become a two-time world champion and leaves him at a career crossroads after losing three of his last four fights.
