Sebastian Fundora vs. Chordale Booker Press Conference Quotes
Sebastian Fundora
“It’s been a while since I fought, but we’re ready to put on a great show like always and give the fans what they’ve been waiting for,“ said Fundora.
“I’ve been working the whole time since my last fight. We’ve been waiting for this and we’ll be ready for whatever Booker comes with.”
“It’s going to take the best Sebastian Fundora to win this fight. Booker is a top contender in this division, so it’s up to me to figure out how I want to win this fight and then go in there and do it.”
Chordale Booker
“I truly am super grateful for this opportunity, but I’m not just happy to be here, I’m coming to win,” said Booker.
“I’ve got my city, Stamford, Connecticut, showing up for me here and that means a lot to me. It’s gonna be a great night and I know everyone is gonna enjoy it.”
“There’s no pressure on me. The only pressure is the pressure I put on myself. I want to bring this back home for myself and my community.”
Fight Prediction
While Booker may be ranked within the top 15 of the WBC and WBO rankings, it is hard to see him winning on Saturday. Fundora’s abilities should ensure that he wins this fight comfortably. The reigning champion does not shy away from closing the distance and trading despite having a significantly longer reach than his opponents. Expect Fundora to win this via stoppage by round seven.
