Booker’s Challenge

Booker (23-1, 11 COs) is not the ideal opponent for Fundora because he is not known and has never beaten anyone during his career. “The Towering Inferno,” Fundora wanted to fight Errol SpenceBut the fight fell through. They would have fought on March 29 if the competition had taken place.

Fundora (21-1-1, 13 COs) has not fought since his win over WBO 154 pound champion Tim Tszyu on March 30 last year, and there is no way to know how time will affect its performance. It was a grueling battle that left Fundora with a broken nose that took months to heal.
