Sebastian Fundora, an American first middleweight boxer, has spoken out about his upcoming bout with WBO world champion Tim Tszyu at that weight.
"It's going to be a big fight. I think Tszyu is the best boxer in the bantamweight division and I have the opportunity to take his place. It's my time to be champion. I'm glad I have the opportunity to make this fight and I'm definitely going to show what I'm made of," ProBox TV quoted Fundora as saying.
Fundora was originally scheduled to box Sergey Bogachuk, but after Tim Tszyu's opponent Thurman pulled out due to injury, the decision was made to assign Fundora as Tim's new opponent. At stake in their fight will be two championship belts: WBO and WBC.
