Sebastian Fundora will engage in a high-stakes rematch with Tim Tszyu on July 19th in the co-main event underneath Mario Barrios vs. Manny Pacquiao for the former's WBC welterweight crown.

Fundora appeared on Bowks Talking Bouts to cover several subjects, such as: -if this Tszyu rematch seemed like an inevitability after their barnburner of an initial bout

-Tszyu's narrative about the cut he received from an errant elbow affecting their first fight, and if Fundora wants to silence any of those narratives from their initial contest

-the influence that Manny Pacquiao has had on his fighting journey and what this moment of sharing a card with Pac Man means to him

-what his thoughts are on being stripped of the WBO junior middleweight title relatively recently

-thoughts on his sister Garbiela becoming the youngest undisputed champion, male or female, in the history of boxing at 22 years old

-taking in a CMLL show recently at ringside with his sister, and how in a different life, Fundora would have been a pro wrestler himself

-if he would be interested in being in a tag team with the smallest wrestler on the roster for the contrast in heights

-being the tallest champion in boxing pound-for-pound today

-the entertainment component being centred to Fundora's approach, who could easily use his reach to actively stay on the outside, but the champion engages in exciting in-fighting exchanges frequently

-having back-and-forths with Terence Crawford over the years in the context of his thoughts on the upcoming Crawford vs. Canelo fight

-the potential for future prizefights against the likes of Jaron Ennis and Xander Zayas while remaining squarely focused on Tszyu
