As reported by ESPN, former welterweight champion Errol Spence is gearing up to make his return to the boxing ring in October. He will be taking on Sebastian Fundora for the WBC junior middleweight title. This will mark Spence’s first fight in a higher weight class than welterweight and his first match since his loss to Terence Crawford in 2023. Despite concerns surrounding his comeback following the tough defeat against Crawford, Spence is determined to show his skills once more.
Before his defeat against Crawford, Spence had an impressive unbeaten record and had triumphed over notable opponents such as Kell Brook, Amir Khan, and Shawn Porter. Those who branded Spence as overrated before the Crawford match underestimated Crawford’s remarkable abilities. The Spence-Crawford fight was highly anticipated and considered to be evenly matched.
The upcoming bout against Fundora poses a significant challenge for Spence, given Fundora’s recent victory over Tim Tszyu which highlighted his determination and skills. Fundora’s height and age advantages over Spence bring an additional element of interest to the upcoming fight. A win for Spence could pave the way for new opportunities, while a loss might indicate a setback in his career.
For Fundora, this fight against Spence represents a pivotal moment in his career following his impressive win over Tszyu. A triumph against Spence would further solidify his position in the boxing world. The clash between these two fighters is set to be a compelling and crucial event for both of their careers.
