Sampson Boxing Signs Massive Super Welterweight Sebastian 'The Towering Inferno' Fundora to a Promotional Contract

Fundora.

Sampson Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing proudly announces the signing of undefeated super welterweight prospect Sebastian 'The Towering Inferno' Fundora to a promotional contract.

The 6' 7", 20-year-old southpaw Fundora, from Coachella, California, is the tallest fighter in his division in the world. Lewkowicz was, at first, reluctant to sign a virtually unknown commodity in Fundora, whose tall statue and low weight make him look deceptively emaciated.

So, always having been a great eye for talent, Lewkowicz put the young fighter in some tough match-ups and was very impressed by the results.

In September of last year, Fundora took on then undefeated Victor Toney and dominated him over six rounds. Looking to evaluate him further, Lewkowicz then put Fundora in a couple tough tests in South America and he won both by near shutout.

"I thought he would be too frail against better competition," said Lewkowicz, "but he barely lost a round in his last four fights. Sebastian is nearly impossible to fight at this weight, with his reach and southpaw stance. And he took enough shots for me to see that he also has a world-class chin. He is going to be a major factor in the division very soon and I'm happy to have signed him to my stable."

"I am fortunate to have met and signed with a great boxing promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, who has exciting plans for my future and who will guide me to conquer the dream of becoming world champion," said Sebastian Fundora. "I have trained all my life to become a world champion, step by step and day by day. I am looking forward to seeing what the future awaits."

Fundora has worked as a sparring partner for the world's youngest super middleweight world champion in history, David Benavidez... also a Sampson Boxing fighter. It was members of Benavidez' camp who initially directed Lewkowicz to the fighter.

"I now have boxing's youngest super middleweight champion in history and the tallest junior middleweight in history," said a proud Lewkowicz of his promotional stable.
