Thurman on his thought process heading into the Fundora fight “He’s definitely the biggest task, the tallest task I’ve ever been up against. You can’t even imagine these types of matchups when you’re going through any of the rankings or any stage of your career. He’s just one of those phenoms in the division like a Paul Williams at 147.

“Every once in a while a phenom appears and Sebastian Fundora’s that phenom right now. But what I love about a challenge is when you overcome it is that’s when the glory comes in…How is this not a great moment? How is this not a great stage?

How is this not a great opportunity? And like I said, you only get one shot at it, baby. So I’m just going to try to capitalize and make all of these dreams come true and please myself and entertain you.
