After the fight had to be postponed due to an injury to Sebastian Fundora, this Saturday, March 28, 2026, he will finally face Keith Thurman in a World Boxing Council (WBC) super welterweight world championship fight.
Sebastian Fundora wants to continue to put his tough defeat against Brian Mendoza in 2023 behind him and prove why he is a champion of the division, as well as regain his dominance with powerful knockouts and talent that led him to defeat Tim Tszyu and Chordale Booker, but now with a greater challenge in his third defense against Keith Thurman.
Thurman arrives with a solid record of 31 wins and only one loss, but he has a significant disadvantage, as he is 18 centimeters shorter than Fundora, in addition to having less activity in recent years, which could be decisive for a championship fight.

Our prediction at Marca is that Sebastian Fundora will retain his WBC world championship against Keith Thurman because he has more activity in recent years, which is a determining factor in this sport. Another factor to consider is Thurman’s height, as being smaller he will have to be careful when entering the ring because of the distance with Fundora, who could take advantage to finish the fight in his favor.
