A Towering Favorite Meets an Unknown Quantity
Fundora, 28, the 6-foot-5½-inch southpaw known as “The Towering Inferno,” is a massive -1800 favorite. He has won his last three fights, including two over Tim Tszyu — a split-decision win in March 2024 to capture the WBC and WBO titles, followed by a seventh-round retirement victory in July 2025 — plus a stoppage of Chordale Booker and a sixth-round finish of Keith Thurman in 2026.
Hadribeaj, 32, is the WBC’s No. 1-ranked contender getting his first shot at a world title. “The Albanian Sniper” holds only a draw on his record, earned a career-best win over Bakary Samake by unanimous decision in May 2026 to capture the WBC Silver belt, and beat Placido Ramirez and Ilhami Aydemir before that. At 5-foot-10, he gives up 7½ inches in height — but his slick Miami-based southpaw style has fooled everyone so far.
Full Fight Card
The PBC card is stacked: the co-feature was set to be Brandon Figueroa vs. Tomoki Kameda for the vacant WBA featherweight title, but Figueroa missed weight and fell ill overnight, and the fight has been canceled. Also on the bill: Mexico’s former champion Armando Resendiz vs. Australia’s Koen Mazoudier in a super middleweight co-feature, Marco Romero vs. Braulio Ferreira, Jaime Enrique Osuna Diaz vs. Cristian Cangelosi at middleweight, and featherweight David Garcia vs. Angel Carrillo.
