Fundora injured, fight with Thurman postponed

Sebastian Fundora (23-1-1) will not be defending his WBC World super-welterweight title on October 25 against Keith Thurman (31-1). Fight has been postponed due to a hand injury suffered by Fundora.

Premier Boxing Champions confirmed the postponement in a press release.

“WBC super welterweight world champion Sebastian Fundora suffered a hand contusion in sparring and his title defense against former unified world champion Keith Thurman, which was scheduled for October 25, has been postponed,” the statement read.

“Details on a new date for the bout will be forthcoming soon. Ticketholders for the event will receive full refunds at their original point of purchase.”

The entire event will be postponed, including the WBC super featherweight title fight between O’Shaquie Foster and Stephen Fulton, originally scheduled as the co-main event. The PBC did not announce whether Foster and Fulton would be preserved for Fundora’s return or booked for a separate event.
