Sebastian Fundora Says Game Plan For Tim Tszyu Is Similar Than It Was For Serhii Bohachuk

Sebastian Fundora thinks Tim Tszyu fights similarly to how his original opponent Serhii Bohachuk fought.

Fundora stepped up on short notice to face Tszyu after Keith Thurman suffered an injury to take on Tszyu on March 30 in Las Vegas. It’s an intriguing fight and heading into the bout, Fundora says his game plan is very similar for Tsyzu as it was for Bohachuk.

“I’m just going to keep focusing on what I need to do. My original opponent Serhii Bohachuk has a lot of similarities to Tim Tszyu, so it’s no difference for me. If I stick to my plan, I’ll be successful. I was in control of the Mendoza fight, so I don’t want to change too much because of the result, and it doesn’t really matter to me what he did against Tszyu. I’m just going to keep focusing on my game. I’ve been training hard all camp. We only had a little bit to fix after our last fight, but my dad and my sister keep my mind straight. My sister Gabriela just became world champion, and now it’s my turn to go do the same,” Fundora said, via BoxingScene.

“A win puts me back at number one in the division. That’s where I want to be. I have my eyes on all of the big names. This is the first stone in the Fundora legacy. Having the right preparation is very important of course. But I don’t think it’s really an advantage that I was preparing for someone similar to Tszyu already. It’s about what happens when you step into the ring. Of course I believe I’m going to win this fight, but not because of an advantage like that. I want to win this fight, become unified champion and keep going from there. We want to keep moving up,” Fundora added.

Although Sebastian Fundora enters the fight as the underdog, he is confident he has all the tools to upset Tszyu on March 30.
