TNT Sports & DAZN Present World Championship Boxing Doubleheader on 'The Fight', Saturday, Oct. 17

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.
