It takes a big man to go into another undefeated fighter’s hometown and take him down, but as the biggest super welterweight in boxing history, Sebastian “Ogniste piekło” Fundora is more than up to the task.

The 6-foot-6 Fundora (8-0, 4 KO) will face Minnesota-based KO artist Veshawn Owens (9-0, 9 KO) w ten piątek, Kwiecień 13, in an eight-round showdown at the Armory in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pair will meet on the undercard of the Premier Boxing Champions on FOX & FOX Deportes event featuring hometown welterweight Jamal James taking on Abel Ramos (9:00 p.m. I / 6:00 p.m. PT)

Presented by Warriors Boxing and TGB Promotions, the event will also see rugged veteran Edner Cherry battling rising lightweight Dennis Galarza in a 10-round bout and Austin Dulay and Chris Colbert clashing in an eight-round match between unbeaten super featherweight prospects. Also appearing on the card is sensational 17-year-old 154-pound prospect Joey Spencer (1-0, 1 KO), dawny numer. 1 w rankingu amatorskim i dziewięciokrotnym mistrzem kraju.

“I’ve fought in other people’s backyards and I’ve already beaten undefeated fighters too, so I’m used to this,” said Fundora, a confident 20-year-old southpaw from Coachella, Kalifornia. “I don’t know much about Owens, but it feels great being able to fight tougher opponents. People are now able to view my full capabilities, instead of knocking guys out in the first round and it doesn’t mean as much.”

With a heavyweight’s reach and height, Fundora is massive for a 154-lb fighter… a natural gift he works on in the gym to its full advantage.

“We trained hard and worked a lot on distance and a lot more power and strength for this fight. I’m not just the biggest, I’m also stronger than anybody else. We started training for this in January. After my last fight, w Argentynie, I took a week off and then started working on conditioning in Big Bear. It’s been a great camp.”

Fundora’s promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz z Sampson Boxing, mówi: “Ogniste piekło” is more than a “gimmick fighter.”

“He’s for real,” powiedział Lewkowicz. “He’s already beaten some good fighters. How he puts all that size and strength into 154 kg., I do not know, but Fundora is too big for anyone at this weight. You have to get inside on him and it’s just too far to go because he’s punishing you for every inch you try to take.”

“I’m more than happy with the way things are going,” continued Fundora. “A victory in this fight would be a good stepping stone to hopefully fight for a regional belt next. I will have a lot of opportunities after I win.”

“This show is the perfect example of what Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes is all about – boxers at various stages of their career, each with something to prove in all action matches,” said Tim Smith, Vice President of Communications for Haymon Boxing. “The stakes are raised for Jamal James because he’s fighting in front of his hometown crowd and yo get in title the mix at 147 pounds and Abel Ramos wants to spoil all of that.

It all promises to be an exciting night of boxing on a night when the sports calendar isn’t crowded.”

James (22-1, 10 KO) is coming off the biggest victory of his career – a knockout over tough veteran Diego Chaves on Dec. 15. The 29-year-old James joined unified 147-pound champion Keith Thurman as the only boxer to have knocked out the durable Argentine. It was James second straight victory since suffering the only loss of his career – a unanimous decision defeat to Yordenis Ugas on Aug. 12, 2016. James nie walczył w swoim rodzinnym mieście Minneapolis, odkąd zdobył jednogłośną decyzję w sprawie Mohammeda Kayongo w 2013.

Ramos (18-2-2, 13 KO) zakończy przejście do dywizji półśredniej, zmierzając się z Jamesem po debiucie w wadze półśredniej z zatrzymaniem Emmanuela Roblesa w lipcu zeszłego roku. 26-latek z Arizony wygrał trzy z ostatnich czterech walk, a jego jedyne porażki w zawodach przypadł na ręce czołowych 140-funtowych rywali Regisa Prograisa i Ivana Baranchyka.

Galarza (16-2, 9 KO), an outstanding amateur boxer, is stepping up in competition with this matchup against the more experienced Cherry. The 25-year-old Galarza, who’s from Brooklyn but trains in Orlando, has won three straight fights since losing a split decision to Cesar Alan Valenzuela on Sept. 16, 2016.

Dulay (11-0, 8 KO) był zajęty w zeszłym roku, walczyć cztery razy, a tylko jedna walka idzie na odległość. 22-letnia południowa łapa z Nashville, Tennessee ostatnio strzelił zwycięstwo TKO nad Carlosem Padilla w sierpniu zeszłego roku.
