WEBWIRE –

TNT Sports and DAZN will present the next installment of The Fight on Saturday, Oct. 17, featuring two world championship bouts as part of a four-fight main card airing live on TNT and DAZN at 8 p.m. ET from The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

Headlining the evening, WBC Super Welterweight Champion Sebastián “The Towering Inferno” Fundora (24-1-1, 16 KOs) will put his title on the line against unbeaten challenger Ermal Hadribeaj (23-0-1, 8 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round showdown. The southpaw Fundora will seek another successful title defense following his sixth-round stoppage of former world champion Keith Thurman in March. Hadribeaj enters the biggest fight of his career after defeating previously unbeaten Bakary Samake in May.

In the co-main event, two-division world champion Brandon “The Heartbreaker” Figueroa (27-2-1, 20 KOs) will make the first defense of his WBA Featherweight Championship against former world champion Tomoki Kameda (42-5, 23 KOs) in a 12-round contest. Figueroa captured the title with a dramatic knockout victory over previously unbeaten Nick Ball in February in Liverpool, England.

The main card will also feature a pair of super middleweight matchups. Former world champion Armando Reséndiz (16-3, 11 KOs), who scored an upset victory over Caleb Plant in 2025, will face Australia’s Koen Mazoudier (16-4-1, 6 KOs) in a 10-round bout. Unbeaten rising prospect Marco Romero (15-0, 13 KOs) will put his perfect record on the line against Uruguay’s Braulio Ferreira (8-3, 3 KOs) in an eight-round contest.

Todd Grisham will host studio coverage alongside undefeated five-division world champion Terence Crawford, International Boxing Hall of Famer Tim Bradley Jr. and former two-time welterweight world champion Shawn Porter, providing analysis and reactions throughout the evening. Corey Erdman will handle play-by-play duties alongside analysts Sergio Mora, a former world champion, and veteran boxing journalist Chris Mannix.
