Two of the best-known super welterweights return to the ring on Saturday, as unified champion Sebastian Fundora — a 6-foot-5 force of nature — defends his WBC and WBO titles against Keith Thurman, an experienced combatant on the world stage, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
It rarely comes bigger than this, particularly in a division that has been on a tear of late, even without the dramatic turn of events regarding Vergil Ortiz vs Jaron Ennis, with Matchroom’s boxer ‘Boots’ moving on from the fight after his rival appeared locked out of the ring amid escalating legal drama between his manager and Oscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.
Elsewhere, Xander Zayas unified two of boxing‘s other major alphabet titles thanks to a boy-turned-man outing in front of his Puerto Rican people, against Abass Baraou, earlier in the year.
Coincidentally, what Ortiz lost, is Zayas’s to gain, as the Top Rank stud could be the main beneficiary of Golden Boy’s courtroom dispute, maneuvering into the 154-pound super prizefight vs Ennis himself.
And so, without Fundora and Thurman even throwing a punch, it’s clear they’re operating in a red-hot division. And so the winner further stakes their claim as one of the clear A-sides in a weight class seemingly full of them.

Fundora and Thurman aren’t the only two squaring off in Las Vegas – below is our pick of the undercard.
- Yoenis Tellez vs Brian Mendoza at super welterweight
- Mendoza is a proven spoiler as proven with his stunning knockout win over Fundora, who headlines the event, but he’s against Tellez, who is the younger, fresher prospect in this danger fight between a gatekeeper and rising Cuban. Quality.
- Yoenli Hernandez vs Terrell Gausha at middleweight
- The Cuban pipeline shows up again in a prominent way on this card through Hernandez, who, if he looks good against Gausha, shows he’s an elite fighter and a possible problem for the top talent at 160 pounds to work through. Strong developmental fight if done right.
Fundora vs Thurman our prediction
Sebastian Fundora should have more than enough advantages to score a win over a big-name opponent. Fundora has been through a super welterweight fire, endured fire-fights, and continually fine-tunes his skillset through father-coach Freddy, so he’s not just reliant on his absurd 6-foot-7 frame at 154 pounds but is able to box exceptionally on the inside, leverage horrific power on his uppercut, and then fight on the outside, too. Not only does he have this, but he also has activity. He’s the younger fighter, and I expect a late stoppage win for him in this fight against Keith Thurman. — Boxing Social editor Alan Dawson.
Closing thoughts
“I can’t see how Keith Thurman will overcome age and inactivity leading into the super welterweight clash with WBC champion Sebastian Fundora,” writes Boxing Social reporter Adam Noble-Forcey.
“Thurman did what he had to do last outing against Brock Jarvis, scoring a third round victory away in Australia. However, the bout came over a year ago against a man who is largely undetected other than a first round capitulation to Liam Paro. Having had over a three year break since his last fight, Thurman goes in against a soon-to-be-prime Fundora. Add that he is 37 years old, I’m clutching at straws to see any route to victory for Thurman.
“Fundora on the other hand is enjoying the most productive period of his career as a world champion. Since claiming the world title against Tim Tszyu in their first encounter, Fundora has become more clinical with his last two fights. At 28 years old, he’s naturally coming into his prime. Thurman is a high profile stepping stone for a unification later this year.
“As long as Fundora keeps it long and is composed in his attack, he’ll hand Thurman his first stoppage loss.”
