Fundora Vows to Knock Everyone
A Finish for the Ages
In a fight that seemed destined to go to the judges' scorecards, Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora delivered a stunning, buzzer-beater knockout against the surprisingly durable Ermal Hadribeaj. With just seconds left in the 12th and final round, Fundora cemented his WBC Super Welterweight title defense in the most dramatic fashion possible. At the post-fight press conference, a clearly pleased Fundora assessed his own performance. “I was that was dramatic. That was pretty dramatic,” he said. “I think it was good.” After a previous bout where he focused on boxing, Fundora admitted he made a conscious choice this time around. “Today I just wanted to brawl,” he explained. “We displayed that we could still do what we're best at, right? Fighting on the inside and we beat this guy who wanted to fight inside.”
Unshakable Confidence
Despite Hadribeaj, a relative unknown, pushing the champion harder than many expected, Fundora’s self-belief remains absolute. When asked how he’d fare against the division’s other killers like Virgil Ortiz or Jaron “Boots” Ennis, his response was swift and unequivocal. “If it was those guys, I'd still knock them out. It's no different,” Fundora stated. He insisted that he never felt threatened during the 12-round war. “I never felt hurt. I never felt in danger at any moment. This guy he didn't do nothing to me,” he said, brushing off the perception that it was a difficult fight. “I feel the same way with Boots or Virgil or any of these guys. I don't think they could hurt me.”
The Path to Undisputed
With another successful defense in the books, the conversation naturally shifted to what comes next. Fundora and his long-time promoter, Samson Lewkowicz, made their intentions clear: they want all the belts. The plan is to pursue a unification bout against the winner of the upcoming Jaron Ennis fight. “They're going to be unifying in January,” Fundora’s camp stated. “And then my partner Samson, he'll get it done.” The goal is not just to collect another title, but to clean out the division entirely. “We'll be going for undisputed next year for sure,” Fundora declared, setting the stage for a massive 2027. He ended the press conference with a simple but powerful promise: “Just look forward for the the king of 154. You know, it's coming soon and we'll be part of it.”
A Message for the Doubters
Fundora’s performance and confidence drew opinions from all corners, including from pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford, who tweeted during the fight that he felt “Boots” Ennis was too fast for Fundora. When confronted with Crawford’s take, the champion was dismissive. “Well, he could say whatever he wants,” Fundora shrugged. “That's opinions. Opinions can say people can say whatever they want here in America.” He had an even stronger message for fans who might criticize his performance or doubt his abilities against the top tier. “The fans that don't want to that make these excuses and say this and that… I don't know. Go kick rocks,” he said bluntly. “I don't care for them.” It’s a clear statement from a champion who fights for his supporters and has no time for anyone else.
