Will Fundora Be Stripped of His Title?

According to the source According To Boxing, the WBO will sanction a fight between the WBA, WBC, and WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) and the WBA super welterweight titleholder Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs). The fight will be sanctioned by both the WBO and WBA, and the winner will become the unified champion at super welterweight (up to 69.9 kg).

Sebastian Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) is the current WBO champion in the super welterweight division, having won the title in March against Tim Tszyu (24-1, 17 KOs). However, in that fight, Fundora broke his nose and will not be able to return to the ring until at least September. This situation might lead to a decision about his title, especially with the upcoming high-stakes bout between Crawford and Madrimov.
