Covid KOs two fighters on Spence-Garcia undercard
Super welterweight sensation Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora (15-0-1, 10 KOs) will now face former title challenger Habib Ahmed (27-1-1, 18 KOs) in a super welterweight title eliminator on the FOX Sports PPV event headlined by Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia this Saturday from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The pay-per-view also features all-action contenders Josesito “The Riverside Rocky” Lopez (37-8, 20 KOs) and Francisco “Chia” Santana (25-8-1, 12 KOs) squaring-off in a 10-round welterweight affair while featherweight Miguel Flores (24-3, 12 KOs) will step in against Eduardo Ramirez (23-2-3, 10 KOs) in a featherweight title eliminator to open the pay-per-view.
