The main reason is a hand injury Fundora suffered during his training.\n\nFundora&#8217;s team, led by his manager Sampson Lewkowicz, confirmed the news along with representatives from Premier Boxing Champions. It has been decided to postpone the entire event.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Fundora will return in January 2026.<\/p><cite>Sampson Lewkowicz<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFundora and Thurman were to be the main stars of the &#8220;PBC on Prime&#8221; event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. PBC hopes to reschedule the fight as soon as the extent of Fundora&#8217;s injury and recovery time are known.\n\nThe co-main event between WBC junior lightweight champion O&#8217;Shaquie Foster and featherweight titleholder Stephen Fulton will also be rescheduled. This is the second time the Foster-Fulton fight has been rescheduled, as it was originally planned for August.\n\nFundora, with a record of 23-1-1 and 15 KOs, was looking for his third fight in 2025. This year, he achieved knockouts over Tim Tszyu and Chordale Booker. The fight against Thurman represented a high-profile title defense for &#8220;The Towering Inferno&#8221;.\n\nThurman, with a record of 36-1 and 23 KOs, aspired to obtain the junior middleweight title for the second time. In March, Thurman withdrew from a WBC title fight against Tszyu due to an injury, being replaced by Fundora. Thurman, 36 years old, has only fought once since 2022, achieving a TKO victory over Brock Jarvis in March 2025.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fundora vs. Thurman: Title defense postponed due to injury The expected defense of Sebastian Fundora&#8217;s WBC junior middleweight title against Keith Thurman, scheduled for October 25th, has been postponed.
