What happened in the first fight between Sebastian Fundora and Tim Tszyu?

Their first clash was never meant to happen since Tim Tszyu was supposed to face Keith Thurman in March 2024. However, an injury scrapped that matchup, and Sebastian Fundora stepped in as a replacement.

He had just come off a knockout loss to Brian Mendoza and was seen as a risky but manageable replacement. Tszyu came out firing and looked sharp early, landing the better power shots through two rounds. But then, a stray elbow from Fundora gashed Tszyu’s forehead and poured blood into his eyes for the rest of the fight.

From that moment on, the clash turned into a bloody affair. Both men bled and traded as Tszyu pressed forward blindly. Fundora boxed smart from range. And in the end, two of the three judges gave it to Fundora, who won the fight by split decision.
