Spence vs. Fundora: When?

Sebastian Fundora will defend his WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles against Errol Spence in early 2025 in Texas. This clash pits the 6'6" Fundora against Spence, who has been out of the ring since his one-sided loss to Terence Crawford in July 2023.

This fight came together after Fundora and Crawford worked out a deal. Instead of facing Crawford right away, Fundora will take on Spence first, with Crawford waiting for his shot later in 2025. For Spence, this is a chance to bounce back after that tough knockout loss to Crawford, but some fans are questioning if he's ready. Spence hasn’t fought in 15 months and hasn’t looked like his old self in his recent fights, especially after the injuries he’s dealt with since 2020.

Spence, at 34, will be jumping straight into a title fight against a dangerous opponent in Fundora, who is young, active, and in his prime. The question is whether Spence can handle the size and pressure of Fundora, or if this could be another rough night for him. Many fans think Spence should’ve taken a tune-up fight, but he’s going straight into the fire.

As for Crawford, he’s waiting to see who comes out on top. After his own win over Spence, some fans aren’t as excited about a rematch, but if Spence can pull off the upset, it could be a huge fight. Meanwhile, Crawford might need to shake off some ring rust after his recent performance against Israil Madrimov wasn’t his best.

It’s shaping up to be a big year in the junior middleweight division, and this fight could set the stage for even bigger matchups down the line. Keep an eye out for more details, but this one is definitely a fight to look forward to!
