WILL TERENCE CRAWFORD FACE SEBASTIAN FUNDORA IN A 154-LB SHOWDOWN?

TERENCE CRAWFORD and SEBASTIAN FUNDORA may soon collide in what could be one of the most anticipated fights in the junior middleweight division. The WBO has officially ordered a title fight between the two champions, setting the stage for a clash that could further solidify Crawford’s legacy or propel Fundora into stardom.

Crawford, the undefeated Omaha southpaw with a record of 41-0 (31 KOs), recently claimed the WBA junior middleweight title and the interim WBO belt after a unanimous decision victory over ISRAIL MADRIMOV in Los Angeles. On the other hand, Fundora, known as “The Towering Inferno,” captured the WBO and WBC titles earlier this year after a split decision win over TIM TSZYU in Las Vegas.

The WBO has given both camps 30 days to negotiate and reach an agreement for the fight. If an agreement isn't reached, the bout will head to a purse bid, with a minimum acceptable bid set at $200,000. This matchup comes at a crucial time, with both fighters looking to further establish their dominance in the division.

While Crawford has solidified his reputation as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters, Fundora’s unique height and reach present a new challenge. Fans and experts alike are eager to see how this clash of styles will play out, with the possibility of a historic fight in the making.

As the deadline approaches, the boxing world watches closely, hoping to see this potential fight between two of the sport’s top fighters materialize.
