Fresh off a stunning victory over Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia has surprisingly called out newly crowned WBC and WBO super welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora.
Despite a significant height difference, Garcia is undeterred and confident in his ability to challenge at 154 pounds. At a post-fight press conference, Garcia expressed his bold ambition:
“I had a vision to fight Fundora at 154 [pounds]. I don’t know why, I just feel like I could knock him out. I know that’s really, really random. But I just feel like I could get a title at 154. I’ve fought guys that big before and I’ve knocked them out in sparring, cold, slept them. So I want to do it. Shout out Fundora though, no disrespect.”

Rematch Alert: Sebastian Fundora vs. Tim Tszyu Set for a November Showdown
After a fierce battle on March 30 that left fans clamoring for more, Sebastian Fundora and Tim Tszyu are poised for a rematch.
Fundora, stepping in on short notice for an injured Keith Thurman, managed to clinch a split-decision win over Tszyu in one of 2024’s most thrilling fights.
The victory was not without controversy, and a rematch has been the talk of the town since.
According to iFL TV, the much-anticipated sequel is targeted for November in Las Vegas, although it is contingent on Fundora’s recovery from a fractured nose sustained in the first encounter.
