WBO clears up Fundora-Spence situation
Sebastian Fundora, who has risen to dominate the super welterweight division, now faces the possibility of losing one of his world titles. This development comes following a decision by the WBO Committee that could dramatically affect his career.
Fundora had initially agreed to make a voluntary title defense, which included a potential unification bout with WBO interim champion Terence Crawford. However, the WBO issued a resolution on October 14, 2024, stating that if Fundora does not meet the outlined conditions, he will risk being stripped of his title.
The WBO’s resolution allows Fundora to defend his title against any contender ranked within their top 15. However, he must unify with Crawford within 180 days. Failure to comply with this timeline will result in Fundora being stripped of his WBO title without the possibility of appeal.
Fundora is now at a crossroads in his career. While he can take on an interim fight before Crawford, missing the WBO’s deadline could cost him one of his prized belts. The Committee’s decision, issued from its Puerto Rico headquarters, underscores the importance of maintaining competitiveness and clarity in the division.
All eyes are now on Fundora as he navigates the delicate balance between defending his title and preserving his status as the unified champion.
