Sebastian Fundora and Keith Thurman will face off at the official weigh-in for their WBC super welterweight title fight, set to take place on March 28th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The ceremonial event, streamed live by Premier Boxing Champions, kicks off at 1:00 p.m. PT (4:00 p.m. ET) from the Studio Ballroom at the MGM Grand. Fundora, the reigning champion, will put his title on the line against the former unified welterweight king Thurman, who is moving up in weight for this high-stakes matchup.

Why it matters

This fight has generated significant buzz due to the stylistic contrast between the towering, pressure-fighting Fundora and the technical, counter-punching Thurman. It's a classic 'size versus skill' clash that could produce an explosive title fight or a tactical masterclass. The outcome will have major implications for the future of both fighters' careers.

Thurman is making a comeback after more than two years of inactivity, moving up to 154 pounds to challenge for a world title in a second weight class.
