Sebastian Fundora and Keith Thurman are targeting early 2026 to reschedule their junior middleweight title fight, sources tell The Ring.

Thurman was set to challenge for Fundora’s title in October, but the fight was postponed when the latter suffered a hand injury.

Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) is rated No. 2 at 154 pounds by The Ring. “The Towering Inferno” is coming off a seventh-round TKO victory over Tim Tszyu in a July rematch. 

Fundora scored a split decision over Tszyu last year to win the title in an upset. The 27-year-old has dizzying height for a 154-pounder at 6-foot-5½ inches.

Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs) moved up to junior middleweight in March with a third-round KO victory over Brock Jarvis in Australia. The fight was Thurman’s first in more than three years and was meant to set up a title clash with Tszyu later this year in Australia.

Thurman enjoyed a lengthy title run at 147 pounds. His lone professional defeat came against the legendary Manny Pacquiao in 2019.
