Fundora being pushed to fight his mandatory

According to the WBC, junior middleweight Sebastian Fundora (pictured) could make another defense of his WBC title on October 17th against top-ranked contender Ermal Hadribeaj of Albania. The American, known as “The Towering Inferno,” owns a record of 24 victories, 1 defeat, and 1 draw, and is coming off a successful title defense against faded ex-welterweight champ Keith Thurman. Standing across from him could be Hadribeaj with a record of 23-0-1 and is the current WBC mandatory challenger in the wake of his May win over Bakary Samake.
