The winner of Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora is set to face the big sharks of the welterweight class. While the two battle it out for Tszyu’s WBO super welterweight belt and the vacant WBC title, both Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford have expressed their desire to challenge whoever goes home with those titles in their kitty.
On Saturday night, at the iconic T-Mobile Arena of Las Vegas, 20-1-1 record holder, Fundora will fight his Aussie opponent, Tszyu, in hopes of grabbing hold of the titles that he’s been chasing for a while. However, that’s not his only incentive. A fight against either ‘Bud’ or ‘The Truth’ will only push him into the elite fighters’ league of the weight class. Is he willing for such an undertaking?

It’s good. You know, he’s a big, it’s like Thurman, I want one of the guys, why can’t I get one of those fights?”
Earlier on social media, 34-year-old Spence Jr. noted that he was flying to Vegas where the weekend entertainer is slated to happen. He also relayed that he’s eyeing a fight against the winner of it. He wrote, “Headed to Vegas. I want the winner!! #TszyuFundora,” but Tszyu didn’t bat an eye. The Texan was meant to fight Bud in a rematch in December. However, he opted for eye surgery, letting the rematch period elapse.
