Sebastian Fundora, known as the 'Towering Inferno,' achieved a significant milestone in his career by clinching a split-decision win over Tim Tszyu to claim two junior middleweight titles in a thrilling match held in Las Vegas. Fundora, standing at an impressive 6-foot-5 ½, displayed resilience and skill in a fight he wasn't initially slated for, stepping in just 11 days before the event to replace the injured Keith Thurman.
Despite breaking his nose early in the fight and falling behind on the scorecards, Fundora's elbow strike on Tszyu led to a cut that affected his opponent's vision throughout the match. Tszyu, acknowledging Fundora's victory, expressed respect for his adversary and hinted at a potential rematch to settle the score.
