LOS ANGELES – Sebastian Fundora defied physiology again Friday afternoon, when the 6-foot-6 southpaw easily made weight again for a 154-pound fight.
Fundora stepped on the scale at 153½ pounds for his bout against Carlos Ocampo on Saturday night at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Ocampo, who stands approximately seven inches shorter than Fundora, also weighed in at 153½ pounds at The Westin Los Angeles Airport.
The 24-year-old Fundora, of Coachella, California, and the 26-year-old Ocampo (33-1, 24 KOs), of Ensenada, Mexico, will fight for Fundora’s WBC interim super welterweight title. Showtime will televise their 12-round, 154-pound championship bout as the main event of “Showtime Championship Boxing” tripleheader scheduled to start at 10 p.m. ET and 7 p.m. PT.
Fundora (19-0-1, 13 KOs) won his interim championship by stopping Erickson Lubin (24-2, 17 KOs), of Orlando, Florida, following the ninth round of a definite “Fight of the Year” candidate April 9 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Ocampo (34-1, 22 KOs) has won 12 straight fights since Errol Spence Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs) stopped him with a body shot toward the end of the first round in their June 2018 fight for Spence’s IBF welterweight title at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
