Overview

  • Sebastian Fundora stopped mandatory challenger Ermal Hadribeaj at 2:59 of round 12 on Oct. 17 to retain the WBC super welterweight title.
  • The finish remains disputed because the fight‑ending left appeared to land at or after the bell and referee Thomas Taylor waved off the count after Hadribeaj went down, a sequence that broadcast analysts questioned.
  • Officials deducted points from Hadribeaj earlier in the bout for holding, and the referee’s decision to halt the final count determined the result as a TKO rather than a full 10‑count knockout.
  • The card’s co‑main was disrupted when Brandon Figueroa missed weight, was stripped of the WBA featherweight title, and the scheduled fight with Tomoki Kameda was canceled after Figueroa fell ill during rehydration.
  • Fundora improved to 25-1-1 (17 KOs) with the win, Hadribeaj suffered his first loss, and Fundora said he will now pursue unification against the likely winner of the proposed Jaron Ennis–Josh Kelly matchup.
