Sebastian Fundora will defend his super welterweight titles against Chordale Booker on March 22 in Las Vegas. The fight will take place at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
Fundora holds both the WBC and WBO belts at 154 pounds. He won them in his last fight, beating Tim Tszyu to unify the titles. Now, he's getting ready for his first defense as a double champion.
The American champion has a record of 21 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw. He's knocked out 13 of his opponents. Fundora has made a name for himself as one of the top fighters in the division.
His challenger, Chordale Booker, comes into the fight with a 20-1 record and 9 knockouts. Booker is ranked number 5 by the WBO. He's got nothing to lose in this fight, which could make him a tough opponent for Fundora.
"Booker is the challenger and has nothing to lose. That makes him dangerous," said a boxing analyst familiar with both fighters.
If Fundora wins, he might look to fight other champions in the division. Terence Crawford holds the WBA title, while Bakhram Murtazaliev has the IBF belt. Fundora could try to become the undisputed champion by beating them.
The fight card for the evening hasn't been announced yet. Fans will have to wait to see who else will be fighting on March 22.
This fight will show if Fundora can hold onto his newly won titles. It will also give Booker a chance to become a world champion. The super welterweight division will be watching closely to see what happens in Las Vegas.
