Fundora wants fight against Ortiz Jr. on Canelo undercard
WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora has big plans for 2026.
First, he fights veteran Keith Thurman on March 28, and after that, Fundora wants to be the chief support on a September fight card headlined by Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
If Fundora gets his wish, he wants it to be against the interim champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. in what would be a huge all-American clash at 154lbs.
“It would be great to fight on the Canelo card,” Fundora told The Ring.
“I'll be ready to fight again in September after the Thurman fight. There are all kinds of big opportunities for me to be in big fights. It can be against whoever, since there are all kinds of names. I'm going to fight these guys. I'm chopping down whoever steps up.
"I'm building a legacy. I'll fight Vergil. I'm eventually going to get my hands on the Ring title, just like my sister Gabriela.”
