Sebastian Fundora once again proved why he is one of the most dangerous fighters in the super welterweight division. The towering 6’5½” champion successfully defended his WBC and WBO titles with a dominant fourth-round TKO over Chordale Booker on March 22, 2025, at the Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas. Fundora used his relentless pressure and overwhelming volume to break down Booker, who struggled to find openings against the champion’s reach and power. In the end, it was Fundora’s precise shot selection and relentless attack that forced the stoppage, cementing his reign at the top of the division.
Fundora Retains Titles with TKO
Coming into this fight, Fundora (22-1-1, 15 KOs) was eager to prove that his aggressive style still made him the most dangerous fighter at 154 pounds. Booker (23-2, 11 KOs), who had been on an impressive six-fight winning streak, was looking to shock the division with an upset victory in his first world title opportunity.
