Overview

  • Sources say Sebastian Fundora will defend his WBC junior middleweight title against Keith Thurman on a Premier Boxing Champions on Prime pay-per-view in Las Vegas this October.
  • Outlets differ on precise details, with Boxing Scene naming October 18 and The Ring’s Mike Coppinger reporting October 25 at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
  • Fundora has made two successful defenses in 2025, most recently forcing Tim Tszyu to stop after seven rounds in July.
  • Thurman, 36, seeks a world title in a second division but has fought only twice since 2019 due to recurring injuries and inactivity.
  • Regulatory approval and final scheduling remain unresolved, and Thurman’s injury history casts doubt on whether the fight will proceed as reported.
