Sebastian Fundora is tipped to retain his WBC super-welterweight title by stoppage.

Sebastian Fundora On 4-Fight Win Streak
Sebastian Fundora is the reigning and defending WBC super-welterweight world champion with a professional record of 24-1-1 (16 KOs).
Fundora made his debut in September 2016 and fought his way into world title contention by going unbeaten in his first 19 fights.
The 28-year-old landed his first world title fight in April 2022 when he met Erickson Lubin for the interim WBC super-welterweight crown, and he took his big opportunity with a ninth-round stoppage.
He successfully retained the belt in October of that year when he beat Carlos Ocampo on points, but a fight for the full world title continued to elude him.
Fundora opted for another interim title fight in April 2023 in order to stay active, but it was a decision that backfired as he was knocked out in the seventh round by Brian Mendoza.
He rebounded in his next outing to claim the WBO and WBC belts though, edging a split decision win against Tim Tszyu.
The American then retained the belts with a fourth-round stoppage of Chordale Booker, but was later stripped of the WBO title over a contractual dispute.
Fundora retained the WBC title though, and he has gone on to stop Tszyu in seven rounds and Keith Thurman in six rounds to retain the championship.
Ermal Hadribeaj Has Won 10 Straight
Ermal Hadribeaj is a world title contender with an unbeaten professional record of 23-0-1 (8 KOs) with 1 No Contest.
Hadribeaj entered the boxing world after a 4-1 run in mixed martial arts, and won 13 of his first 15 fights to put himself on the fringe of the world title fixture.
He won and successfully defended the WBC international super-welterweight multiple times between November 2022 and November 2025, before relinquishing that championship prior to his most recent bout.
The 32-year-old Albanian scored his 23rd professional win in May of this year, as he beat Bakaray Samake via unanimous decision to land his shot at the world title.
