Fundora Promoter Says Spence Next, Crawford Must Wait

In the world of boxing, matchups are everything. And when it comes to maximizing profits, Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter for newly crowned WBC and WBO junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora, knows that money talks. That’s why he’s eyeing a fight with Errol Spence Jr. for his fighter’s next bout.

After Fundora’s impressive 12 round split decision win over champion Tim Tszyu on Saturday night, Lewkowicz wasted no time in declaring that Spence will be next for his fighter. And while Terence Crawford, the WBO mandatory, may be the better fighter, Lewkowicz believes that Spence’s ability to sell out 90,000 tickets in Dallas makes him the more lucrative option.

But what does Fundora think about all of this? At the post-fight press conference, he made it clear that he wants to fight the best, and in his opinion, that’s Terence Crawford. However, he also understands the business side of boxing and trusts his promoter to make the best decision for his career.

And it’s not just about the money. Fundora has been working on his defense and using his jab, and it all came together in his fight against Tszyu. But he knows that in the end, boxing is a business and maximizing profits for the fighter is key.

So while Crawford may have to wait his turn, Fundora is ready to take on Spence and prove himself as one of the best in the world. And with his 6’5″ height and high work rate, he’s sure to give Spence a run for his money.
