officially set.

Both Fundora (23-1-1) and challenger Keith Thurman successfully
made weight for their title clash. It will be Fundora’s third title
defense. Fundora came in at 153.6 pounds, while Thurman (31-1)
weighed 152.6 pounds. While the weights are similar, Fundora will
have an 11-inch reach difference and stands six inches taller.

Fundora has held the WBC’s super welterweight title for a second
time since March 2024 after he won a split decision over Tim Tszyu.
A TKO win over Chordale Booker followed before a rematch against
Tszyu, who retired after the seventh round of their 12-round title
fight. His only defeat came in 2023 to Brian Mendoza, who knocked
him out and ended his first reign.

Meanwhile, Thurman is 2-0 since losing a split decision to Manny
Pacquiao in 2019. Largely inactive, Thurman returned in 2022 for a
fight against Mario Barrios and then knocked out Brock Jarvis last
year. Thurman previously held the WBC welterweight title and the
WBA super welterweight belt.

on Saturday that begins at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Prelims start at
