Eddie Hearn Gives Bad News to Terence Crawford, Says Sebastian Fundora Fight Is Possible With Errol Spence Jr. But Not With ‘Bud’

In the wake of Sebastian Fundora‘s victory over Tim Tszyu, Errol Spence Jr. called out the new WBO and WBC Super-Welterweight champion. Similarly, Fundora was interested in fighting Spence Jr. as he considered ‘The Truth’ one of the greats in boxing. However, later, Fundora’s promoter Sampson Lewkowicz informed the media that they had “verbally” promised ‘The Soul Taker’ a rematch. Therefore, a rematch against Tszyu was Team Fundora’s “first priority”.

On the other hand, the WBO branded Terence Crawford as Fundora’s “mandatory“. Likewise, they ordered both sides to arrange a fight within the next 180 days. However, it seems Errol Spence Jr. vs. Sebastian Fundora has a better chance of taking place now. Lately, with AKHi TV, Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe said that the founder of PBC, Al Haymon could make Spence Jr. vs. Fundora happen.

Now, promoter Eddie Hearn is in agreement with Ellerbe. In his opinion, the rematch between Tszyu and Fundora will hardly happen. “Firstly, is there a rematch clause? I think Tszyu’s team says there is. Sampson said there’s a verbal one. I mean I can’t believe you would enter a fight 12 days out to save a show as the champion and not have a rematch clause. So, I’m presuming they have one,” said Hearn.

“If they don’t and regardless of what Sampson says, who’s a lovely man, a verbal contract means absolutely nothing. You can say, ‘We’re going to honor our word.’ [But,] there’s no terms,” Hearn added. In addition, he explained that since Fundora and Spence Jr. were with the PBC, the two could share the ring.

PBC cannot stage Terence Crawford vs. Sebastian Fundora

According to Hearn, if Team Fundora can get the rematch against Tim Tszyu in Australia, it would be financially lucrative. In his opinion, a rematch against ‘The Soul Taker’ will bring Fundora “the biggest payday” of his career. But, if the rematch doesn’t take place, Fundora will likely face Spence Jr. as the two are with the PBC. “What I think will happen again talking about PBC. Crawford is not with the PBC. So, therefore, unless the PBC can capture Crawford, they won’t do the fight against Fundora,” said Eddie Hearn.

“I think you’ll either see Fundora against Tszyu or Fundora against Spence. I don’t think you will see Fundora against Crawford,” concluded Hearn.
