Sebastian Fundora and Errol Spence Jr have a deal in place for a fight in October, according to ESPN.com’s Mike Coppinger.

The fight — which would take place in the Dallas area, possibly at AT&T Stadium if a date is available — would see Fundora defend the WBC and WBO super welterweight titles against Spence, a former welterweight titleholder.

Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KO) took the WBO belt from Tim Tszyu and grabbed the vacant WBC strap in the process on Mar. 30 in Las Vegas, winning a split decision over 12 bloody rounds, a fight that Fundora was not meant to be in. He had replaced the injured Keith Thurman in the PBC pay-per-view main event. Fundora was originally set to face Serhii Bohachuk on the undercard.

Spence (28-1, 22 KO) hasn’t fought since an absolute thrashing at the hands of Terence “Bud” Crawford in July 2023, which was just his second fight since 2020. The 34-year-old has recently become entangled in a dispute with now-former trainer Derrick James regarding alleged owed monies to James. Spence has also had a little social media beef with Ryan Garcia, who is trained by James, but obviously nothing is coming of that.You might look at LeBron James and Jae Crowder and conclude they’d never have beef because they’re in different tiers of the league. But that’s not how the story plays out– actually maybe it’s becuase of their status differential that the beef existed. Crowder could challenge LeBron. On several occasions. In the post season. Which is kinda embarrassing for LeBron. Now, Crowder accomplished that by being really physical– which I can’t see LeBron enjoying. And apparently when LeBron gets mad, he gets a little vengeful.

Spence was named as a likely Fundora opponent right after the fight in March, and it seems that is the way we’re headed. The 34-year-old Spence has a lot of question marks about his overall health and boxing future, while the 26-year-old Fundora is coming in off of easily his biggest win as a pro.
