Bruised hand in sparring postpones Fundora's title bout
World super welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora suffered a bruised hand during a sparring session that forced postponement of his scheduled title defense against fellow American Keith Thurman, promoters said Friday.
Fundora was set to face Thurman on October 25 in Las Vegas for the World Boxing Council version of the 154-pound (69.9kg) crown.
No details on a new date for the fight were announced.
It was also not revealed which hand was injured.
Fundora, a 27-year-old southpaw, is 23-1-1 with 15 knockouts and was set to defend his title for the third title since taking it from Tim Tszyu in a 12-round split decision in March 2024.
His most recent fight was a seventh-round stoppage of Australian fighter Tszyu in a rematch last July.
Thurman, 36, is 31-1-1 with 23 knockouts. Since suffering his only career loss, to Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao by split decision in 2019, Thurman had fought only once in six years before stopping Brock Jarvis in the third round in March at Sydney, Australia.
Thurman had been the WBC and World Boxing Association welterweight champion in 2017 with a split decision over Danny Garcia in New York.
