Sebastian Fundora’s next title defense of his WBC junior middleweight belt against Keith Thurman remains without a confirmed rescheduled date.
The match was initially scheduled for 25 October 2025, but was postponed after Fundora suffered a left hand contusion during training. January 24 or January 31 in Las Vegas has been discussed as a possible replacement date, although no decision has been finalized. The timing will depend on Fundora receiving medical clearance for the injured hand.
Fundora last fought in July, when he stopped Tim Tszyu in the seventh round of their rematch. The win was his first successful defense of the WBC 154-pound title.
Thurman, 37, has fought sparingly in recent years. Thurman, 37, has fought infrequently in recent years, with long gaps between appearances. His most recent outing came against Brock Jarvis, a lower-level opponent, after an extended layoff.
The proposed bout drew criticism from some fans, who questioned Thurman’s inactivity and the timing of the fight. Others pointed to WBC interim titleholder Vergil Ortiz Jr. and IBF champion Bakhram Muratazaliev as unaddressed alternate opponents.
No alternate opponent has been announced, and the Fundora-Thurman fight remains unresolved pending medical clearance and final scheduling.
