Thurman and Fundora Almost Agreed on Fight. Keith Named Timeline for Signing Agreement

Former world champion American Keith Thurman revealed when the agreement for the fight against WBC Super Welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora might be signed.

“The only reason why I am here, why I got to the level where I am now — is pure love and dedication to boxing. There is nothing better than being in the ring. I just want to make history and show myself as a true great fighter. This is my motivation.

Hopefully, within ten days — maximum two weeks we can announce a date. I was told something, but you know how it is in boxing. I treat this cautiously, but it reminds me to stay active, to train. This morning I had a good workout and am waiting for this announcement.

You will see this man fall again, like he has done already in his career. I will just come and bring big power. Power is the last thing to go. I have always been a knockout artist and I know that before I focused on technique and footwork — it was fun, but I got tired of it. So I am returning to punching power,” said Thurman.

Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs) returned in 2025 after a three-year break, knocking out Brock Jarvis. The duel against Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) was initially planned for October 2025, but was postponed due to a hand injury sustained by Sebastian. It is expected that the meeting will take place in early 2026.
