The MGM Grand Garden Arena will host a stacked night of boxing on October 25, headlined by Sebastian Fundora’s WBC junior middleweight title defense against Keith Thurman. “PBC on Prime” will also feature O’Shaquie Foster vs. Stephen Fulton for the WBC junior lightweight crown in the co-main, alongside two more high-profile middleweight bouts.
Fundora (23-1-1, 15 KOs) has surged into titleholder status since stepping in for an injured Thurman to defeat Tim Tszyu earlier this year. He reinforced that win with a July stoppage of Tszyu in their rematch, marking his second successful defense at 154. At 27, the 6’6” champion now faces a seasoned veteran in Thurman (31-1, 23 KOs), who has fought just twice since his 2019 loss to Manny Pacquiao but enters fresh off a knockout win at 154 against Brock Jarvis. Victory would make the 36-year-old Thurman a two-division world champion.

The co-main pairs two reigning titlists across divisions. Foster (23-3, 13 KOs), 31, defends his 130-pound belt against Philadelphia’s Fulton (23-1, 8 KOs), who already owns titles at 122 and 126. Fulton, a former unified super bantamweight champion, rebounded from a 2023 loss to Naoya Inoue by outpointing Brandon Figueroa in February to secure the WBC featherweight title. The WBC will allow Fulton to keep his featherweight crown while challenging at junior lightweight.
The undercard brings additional intrigue: Jesus Ramos (22-1, 18 KOs) vs. Shane Mosley Jr. (22-4, 12 KOs) for the interim WBC middleweight belt.
