Fundora's Promoter: "I Will Not Tolerate Such Disrespect"

Samson Levkovich, promoter of the WBC and WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs), has stated that they will not be conducting the rematch with Tim Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs) in Australia.

"We will hold the rematch in America. Australia is no longer under consideration. I am too old to endure such treatment in my country, in my home. I'm not going to his country. I can only imagine how they would treat me there. I will not accept such disrespect. Fundora has agreed to the fight. If Tszyu does not want to wait until November or December—we will consider another option," said Levkovich.

On March 30th, Sebastian Fundora defeated Tim Tszyu by a split decision and became the WBO and WBC champion at junior middleweight.
