Promoter Sampons Leukoviz says WBO's Mandatory Gender Zais WBC and WBO Junior Middleweight Champion Sebastian Fundora could not fight against the IBF or WA champ.
Fundora's goal is to be undisputed in 1. So, if he can fight with one of the other two belt-holders, he will take it next time and will keep the compulsory defense against Zayas (25-5, 5k). Levkoviz says Fundora will not empty his WBO or WBC title. He will protect against his compulsory challengers because he respects the sport.
Last Saturday night, Fundora (22-5-6, 3KO), Las Vegas's Michale Ultra Arena voluntarily scored the technical knockout of Cordal Booker's fourth round. It was a fight for 'The Towering Inferno' Fundora to get out of the ring rust for twelve months since the win against the WBO 154-LB champion Team Tizu on March 30, 2024.
Zayas was trying to start the fight with entertainment last Saturday night and sought face-off with Fundora, which was not granted.
“Fighting with Zayus would not be a problem. The only thing is that you never know in boxing. So, we will see,” preacher Sampson Levkoviz says Media About the fight between WBC and WBO Junior Middleweight Champion Sebastian Fondora and his WBO Mandatory Gender Zaus.
“We need discussions, and we have a month to make a decision. The mandatory is at this point. So, we cannot talk to others. It can happen, a consolidation, and it can be overly overcome. If this is the IBF champion (Bakhram Murtazlev), but they need to wait a little more.”
IBF champion Murtazleev posted on X last night, congratulated Fundora for his victory and told him to start a discussion of the union after “I am ready”. If the Sebastian and Leukovis want to unite any of it will be their chance.
“At this point, we are waiting for a letter from the WBO. If we want it, we will say it right now or we don't want it. We do not wait a month to make a decision, but if we have the opportunity to make more money in consolidation,” Leuviz says. “In fact, he (Fundora) will fight for the same money because he wants to achieve his four titles.”
The WBO's President has already said that they want Gender Zayas to fight for the belt within 120 days. Fundora must decide whether he wants that match to happen next. It could be a better salary fight for them than to face Murtazaliev.
“I can't make this decision as a promoter. It depends on the fundrar, but of course, at the moment #1 is Zayas,” says Levkoviz. “He is compulsory. We need to be compulsory to respect. The only thing that can happen is union because it will be more important than money. He wants to be undisputed. He never empty the title).
“The only thing is to have the opportunity to fight for IBF. So, he made an exception, and then he would return, but he would respect the mandatridge. Boxing more than the money,” said Sampon about Fundora. “Many boxers will sell their souls for money.
This is a difficult decision for Fundora on whether one of the champions to fight or go for a conflict of consolidation against one of the champions. WBA Champion Terns Croford is about to be busy for the rest of this year by fighting Canllo Alvarez in September.
