Sebastian Fundora puts his WBC super welterweight crown on the line against Keith “One Time” Thurman on Saturday, October 25, 2025, live on Prime Video PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
A TRUE CROSSROADS OR JUST A PAYDAY?
Sebastian Fundora (23-1-1, 16 KOs) isn’t shy about calling himself the man at 154. Fresh off dismantling Tim Tszyu in July — dropping him early before forcing a seventh-round corner stoppage — the 6’6” southpaw is building a résumé that’s hard to ignore. Add his brutal battle with Erickson Lubin and the belts he’s already collected, and the “Towering Inferno” looks like a nightmare for anyone in the division.
Keith Thurman (31-1, 22 KOs), though, brings veteran seasoning. He once ruled welterweight with wins over Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter, plus a razor-thin fight with Manny Pacquiao. His recent activity has been limited, with victories over Mario Barrios and Brock Jarvis. Originally scheduled to face Tszyu before injury, Thurman now jumps straight into a title shot at 154 — chasing history in a division he’s never conquered.
Fundora: “I do believe I’m the best at 154 right now. I’m focused on continuing this reign and doing what I’ve been doing.”
Thurman: “On October 25 at the MGM Grand, I’m climbing that mountain.”
TACTICAL BREAKDOWN
Sebastian Fundora
Strengths: Endless volume, awkward angles, and a freakish reach advantage at 154. His southpaw stance and relentless pace drown opponents who can’t match his output.
Key Factor: Can he keep Thurman from finding early success with power shots and grind him down as the fight goes on?
Keith Thurman
Strengths: Speed, timing, and veteran ring IQ. At his best, “One Time” mixes movement with sharp counterpunching and fight-changing power.
Key Factor: Can he land clean early, before Fundora’s size and pressure begin to overwhelm him?
UNDERCARD WITH BITE
The PPV undercard is shaping up with real substance:
-
Stephen Fulton Jr. vs O’Shaquie Foster – WBC Super Featherweight Title
-
Fulton moves up from featherweight, hunting a third division championship.
-
Foster, confident as ever: “The 130-pound division runs through me.”
-
-
Jesus Ramos Jr. vs Shane Mosley Jr. – Interim WBC Middleweight Title
-
Ramos brings heavy hands, but Mosley comes in hot off a career-best win over Daniel Jacobs.
-
-
Isaac “La Bestia” Lucero vs TBA – Super Welterweight opener
THURMAN’S LAST STAND?
For Fundora, this fight is about locking down his claim as the face of the division. For Thurman, it’s about proving there’s still fuel in the tank after years of injuries and inactivity.
Fundora’s size and relentless pressure give him the edge, but Thurman’s timing and experience can’t be discounted. If “One Time” lands early, the story changes. If not, expect the younger man to drown him in the late rounds.
Either way, it’s a Vegas fight night that will define both men’s careers — a new era for Fundora or a throwback triumph for Thurman.
