Keith Thurman
Former unified champion Keith Thurman is ready for a massive test. He faces WBC Super Welterweight World Champion Sebastian Fundora. This epic clash headlines the PBC Pay-Per-View on Prime Video. The action unfolds Saturday, March 28, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
A True Hall of Fame Comeback
Thurman believes this victory will secure his Hall of Fame status. He last held a world title in 2019. Consequently, he views this bout as a legendary comeback. Thurman noted that boxing loves great comeback stories. He hopes to recreate boxing movie magic and solidify his historical boxing legacy forever.
Overcoming Delays with Patience and Treats
Originally scheduled for last October, a hand injury to Fundora delayed the match. Thurman initially felt frustrated. However, he quickly found a sweet silver lining. He spent a week taking his daughter for ice cream daily. Now, he is fully focused on taking Fundora down and winning the title.
Trusting a Lifelong Connection in the Corner
Thurman enters the ring guided by veteran trainer Tony Morgan. After Dan Birmingham retired, Thurman turned to Morgan, who has known him since his amateur days. Therefore, Thurman feels incredibly lucky. They share a deep mutual understanding, which Thurman strongly believes is a crucial tactical advantage for this upcoming fight.
Setting Traps for The Towering Inferno
Fundora was not initially on Thurman’s radar. However, after Fundora replaced an injured Thurman against Tim Tszyu in 2024, everything changed. Thurman promises an unforgettable, action-packed showdown. He confidently declared,
“I will set traps, hit him with heavy hammers, and hopefully go home early. Fundora has never seen anything like this.”
