Tim Tszyu vs. Sebastian Fundora is in the books. The event took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 30 ,and the main card featured five title fights. This article explores the full event results.

In the main event, Tim Tszyu's WBO super welterweight title and the vacant WBC super welterweight title were on the line against Sebastian Fundora.

In the end, Sebastian Fundora emerged victoriously via a split decision (116-112, 112-116, 115-113) to become the WBC and WBO super welterweight champion.
