Former world champion and boxing analyst Chris Algieri believes there's one man who could dethrone Sebastian Fundora, the current WBC Super Welterweight Champion — and even become the top dog at 154.
“I think Vergil Ortiz could be the best in this weight class,” said Algieri. “I believe he can beat Fundora.”
Ortiz (23-0, 21 KOs) is currently one of the division’s top contenders and holds the WBC interim title, positioning him as Fundora’s likely future opponent. However, most current speculation revolves around a planned fall 2025 showdown between Ortiz and Keith Thurman.
Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) is coming off a dominant performance in a rematch, stopping Tim Tszyu and solidifying his claim to the throne at 154.
