Errol Spence Jr. and Sebastian Fundora: The Backstory
The 34-year-old is looking to rebound from his lone loss as a pro and does so by fighting for a title in a higher weight category versus Fundora. His last time out, Spence Jr. fell short in a undisputed welterweight championship clash against Terence Crawford last July. Crawford halted him via ninth round TKO and Spence's pro record fell to 28-1 overall with 22 stoppage victories.
The native of New York state was previously a unified world champion at welterweight and held gold with IBF, WBA, and WBC at 147 pounds.
Errol Spence Jr. aims to become a two0division world champion in the sport but has a tall task in front of him both literally and figuratively.
Fundora stands at 6-foot-5 and a half inches tall with a resoundingly massive reach of 80 inches.
Last time out, Sebastian Fundora claimed the WBC and WBO junior middleweight straps with a split decision win over the previously undefeated Tim Tszyu in March of this year.
'The Towering Inferno' boasts a professional boxing record of 21-1-1 with 13 finishes inside the distance.
