Originally, Fundora and Thurman were supposed to fight in October, but the champion had to pull out due to a hand injury.

Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) last competed in July on the co-main event of Manny Pacquiao-Mario Barrios and defeated Tim Tszyu by seventh-round stoppage. 

Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs) will be fighting at 154 pounds for the second time. "One Time" made his super welterweight debut back in March 2025, going over to Australia and scoring a third-round knockout over Brock Jarvis. Now, Thurman will look to become a two-division world champion. It will only be Thurman's third bout since losing to Pacquiao by split decision in July 2020.
