Long shot: Fundora to win in Round 6-7

Tale of the Tape

With both boxers being southpaw, this could be an interesting fight from a tactical angle. It’s not too common for either to face an opponent with this stance, and how they adapt could come into play.

Fundora is the more aggressive, high-volume fighter, while Hadribeaj is the more mobile, angle-based points boxer.

The latter will have to keep this a contest of movement and accurate single attacks rather than prolonged exchanges, as Fundora’s ability to throw powerful combinations can make him a target if he stands still and tries to trade jabs.

Fundora’s statistics are first:

• Age - 28 vs 33
• Height - 6'5" (196cm) vs 5'11" (180cm)
• Stance - Southpaw vs Southpaw
• Record - 24-1-1 vs 23-0-1
• KO Record - 16 vs 8

Betting Markets to Watch

Entering the bout as the mandatory challenger, Hadribeaj faces an uphill task, with early odds reflecting that view.

The Albanian is entering his first world title fight, and while he is unbeaten, he has never faced an opponent of the quality of Fundora, who is the overwhelming favourite.

The knockout power that Fundora has and the inexperience at this level of Hadribeaj would suggest there’s a little more value in the KO/TKO market for Fundora's method of victory.

Fundora has successfully defended the belt three times since beating Tim Tszyu in 2024, including a second victory over Tszyu, each coming by stoppage.

With Tszyu now on the wrong end of two defeats to Fundora, plenty of fans will be wondering when Tim Tszyu's next fight is as he looks to rebuild.

Given that both are southpaws, there’s perhaps longer value in the fight going the distance, as both have a history of needing the allotted rounds. However, this isn’t something many are expecting, which is why it is viewed as a potential long shot.

Hadribeaj may be difficult to break down initially, while Fundora may ease himself into the fight before unleashing his combinations and power on the challenger.
