Redkach: "I don't think Fundora has proven that he's really a champion"

Ukrainian boxer Ivan Redkach commented on the outcome of the fight for the WBC and WBO light middleweight titles between American Sebastian Fundora and Australian Tim Tszyu.

Fundora defeated Tszyu by split decision on March 30 at Boxing Night in Las Vegas in a tense contest.

"I don't think Sebastian proved that he's really a title challenger, much less a champion. Sechka (at Tszyu's) interfered, and interfered seriously. It's hard to control a fight when blood is pouring into your eyes. It was a bloody fight, but Tim didn't give up. Maybe the judges knew better, but in my opinion it could have been a draw. But a draw is not profitable from the promoters' point of view, and as we know "money talks". In any case, Sebastian won, so congratulations to him," - quotes Redkach Allboxing.
