On Saturday night, unified junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora (21-1-1, 13 KOs) will defend his titles against Chordale Booker (23-1, 11 KOs) live from the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, NV, on Prime Video. With potential mouthwatering matchups on the horizon, Fundora looks to get past Booker and set himself up for potential career-high paydays.
The champion, Fundora has not been busy at all the last two years as he’s only fought once in 2023 and 2024. The 2023 matchup was a knockout loss to Brian Mendoza, and last year, a war with Tim Tszyu that resulted in a split decision victory, earning him two of the division’s titles. For months, a rumored fight with Errol Spence Jr. was discussed, but nothing materialized, forcing Fundora to go in a different direction. Let’s see if the inactivity plays a part in this fight against Booker on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
On the other hand, Booker had two fights last year, which kept him busy. The fighters weren’t top contenders (Greg Vendetti & Brian Chaves), but they did earn him a regional title setting up the matchup with Fundora. Can the heavy-betting underdog pull off the upset?
Per DraftKings SportsBook, Sebastian Fundora is the favorite at -1400, and Chordale Booker is the underdog at +750.
Sebastian Fundora: TKO/KO -180; Decision +190
Draw: +2000
Chordale Booker: TKO/KO +1200; Decision +2000
These timings could change due to the length of the undercard fights.
