Fundora's Camp Draws a Line: It's 50/50 or No Ennis Fight

Sebastian Fundora can have the undisputed super-welterweight fight the division wants — but only on his terms. The WBC champion's promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz, has told Fight Hub TV that a showdown with Jaron 'Boots' Ennis happens under one condition: an even 50/50 purse split, full stop. No concessions for belt counts, no A-side, B-side haggling.

The timing matters. Fundora, now 24-1-1 (15 KO), just defended his WBC title against mandatory challenger Ermal Hadribeaj over the weekend, stopping him in the dying second of the 12th round. It wasn't his cleanest night, but a finish is a finish. Across the aisle sits Ennis, 36-0 with 32 knockouts, who ripped the WBA and WBO straps from Xander Zayas in June via seventh-round stoppage to become a two-division unified champion.

Two Belts, Not Three

Lewkowicz pushed back hard on the narrative that Ennis is already a three-belt king. He pointed out that Boots holds two titles, not three — the IBF still belongs to Josh Kelly. Lewkowicz said he respects Kelly's ability and reminded everyone that the 18-1-1 fighter can actually fight. That's not idle trash talk: Kelly's last outing was a majority-decision win over Bakhram Murtazaliev.

The clean-sweep math still runs through Kelly. Ennis was supposed to meet him later this year, but that unification has slipped to early 2027. Only after clearing Kelly could Ennis walk into a Fundora fight with three belts and the full undisputed picture on the table. Lewkowicz's point is simple — stop counting chickens.

Even Money or Nothing

On the business, Lewkowicz said he's already spoken with Ennis' advisor and laid out the position: both men are world champions who've sacrificed their whole lives for this, so both deserve equal pay. He framed it as a matter of respect for the sport rather than a negotiating ploy, and insisted the split is the deal — take it or leave it.

That's the sticking point. Many inside the sport see Ennis, unbeaten and the bigger pound-for-pound name, as the natural A-side, which usually means the larger slice. Fundora's team clearly disagrees. Before any of it gets resolved, Ennis has Kelly to handle. If he does, boxing gets a genuine four-belt super-welterweight unification — assuming both camps can first agree on who gets what.
