Sebastian Fundora Defeats Chordale Booker, Retains Unified Titles

Sebastian Fundora, known as 'The Towering Inferno,' successfully retained his unified WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles with a fourth-round TKO victory over Chordale Booker at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas. Fundora, towering at 6 feet 5½ inches, utilized his height and reach advantage effectively, dominating the fight and landing a series of powerful punches that ultimately overwhelmed Booker. Despite a brief resurgence from Booker in the third round, Fundora's relentless assault culminated in a decisive knockdown in the fourth, prompting the referee to stop the fight. This victory marks Fundora's first title defense since winning the belts in March 2024 against Tim Tszyu. Looking ahead, Fundora is expected to face mandatory challenger Xander Zayas or potentially unify titles with IBF champion Bakhram Murtazaliev. The win adds to Fundora's rising legacy in boxing as he continues to be a formidable presence in the junior middleweight division.
