Fundora vs. Thurman Set for Saturday WBC Title Fight at MGM Grand
The Prime Video PPV offers Fundora a chance to turn a title defense into a star-making moment.
Overview
- WBC super welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora defends his belt against former welterweight titleholder Keith Thurman on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on a PBC pay-per-view streamed on Prime Video.
- Fundora says both hands are now fully healed after contusions that forced an October postponement, and he describes the reschedule as manageable because he had time to recover.
- The 6-foot-5 champion calls Thurman a future Hall of Famer and says a clear win would move him from champion status to what he calls the “superstar level.”
- Past opponents Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza say Fundora’s height and reach make him hard to solve yet hittable, and Mendoza points to Thurman’s lateral movement and leaping left hook as a real path to an upset.
- This is Fundora’s first time headlining at the MGM Grand, and he enters at 23-1-1 with 15 KOs against Thurman’s reported 31-1 with 23 KOs, raising the stakes for his rise at 154 pounds.
