Brian Mendoza’s Bold Claims
Brian “La Bala” Mendoza is making audacious claims about his past encounter with WBC Super Welterweight Champion Sebastian Fundora, asserting that he has the ability to deliver another stunning defeat. In a candid discussion on the Drew & Pris Uncensored Podcast, Mendoza, who is gearing up for his crucial bout against Keith Thurman scheduled for October 25, 2025, openly stated his desire for a title shot against Fundora.
Mendoza’s Knockout Legacy
Mendoza is no stranger to making waves in the boxing community, notably for his knockout win earlier this year that left a lasting mark on the sport. He did not hold back during the podcast, saying,
“I knocked Fundora into another planet — and that’s something he just can’t forget. He knows what happened last time, and deep down, he understands that it could happen again.”
Confidence in Challenging Fundora
When asked point-blank about his suitability to challenge Fundora next, Mendoza responded emphatically, asserting,
“Absolutely. But let’s be real—Fundora is scared of me. He keeps avoiding me. He knows I’m a threat to that belt, and I’m not going anywhere.”
Mendoza’s impressive record of 23 wins, 4 losses, and 17 knockouts highlights his punching power and places him squarely among the rising stars of the division.
A Pivotal Shift in Careers
He believes that their previous fight created a pivotal shift in both their careers.
“That fight changed everything — for both of us. He can’t erase it, and the fans haven’t forgotten it either,”
Mendoza remarked, underlining his conviction that another bout with Fundora is not just warranted but an eventual certainty.
Looking Ahead
As anticipation builds within the boxing community, all eyes will be on Fundora as he faces Thurman, with many speculating about the possibility of Mendoza stepping back into the ring against the champion for a rematch. The stakes are high, and October 25 may well prove to be a defining day in the super welterweight division. For more insights, fans can listen to the complete podcast episode at www.boxingvip.com.
