News Summary:
On April 5, 2026, Zayas publicly criticized Sebastian Fundora's decision to pursue a rematch with Tim Tszyu, calling Fundora an "easy puzzle to solve" rather than engaging his mandatory challenger, following Fundora's four-round victory over Chordale Booker on March 22. Previously, on March 28, analysis highlighted Sebastian Fundora's improving form at age 28, nearing his peak, as he prepared for a potential fight with Keith Thurman, who recently defeated Brock Jarvis. This followed news from March 27, when Yoenis Tellez (11-1, 8 KOs) prepared to face Brian Mendoza (23-4, 17 KOs), the only fighter to have defeated Fundora, in the co-main event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This card featured Sebastian Fundora defending his WBC 154lbs belt against Keith Thurman in the Prime Video/PPV.COM main event. Earlier on March 20, reports indicated that the careers of the Charlo brothers, once considered anchors of the Premier Boxing Champions era, had been hampered over the last five years due to consistent withdrawals, failed negotiations, and false starts. On March 15, David Benavidez's father and trainer, Jose Benavidez Sr., postponed a potential world title fight for his son, stating Benavidez was "not ready yet" for that specific opponent, as the 29-year-old targeted other champions and was scheduled to headline a Premier Boxing Champions card against Gilberto Ramirez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on May 2.
