Sebastian Fundora will face Hector Manuel Zepeda in a clash of unbeaten junior middleweights on June 21, Gordon Hall, Showtime’s senior vice president of production, told RingTV.com. The 10-round bout will take place at the WinnaVegas Hotel and Casino in Sloan, Iowa, and will headline a “ShoBox” tripleheader on Showtime.

The match-up between the 21-year-old prospects will be a contrast of styles and physical statures. Fundora, who stands at an astounding 6-foot-7, will obviously have a significant height advantage.

Fundora (12-0, 8 knockouts), who is originally from West Palm Beach and now lives and trains in Coachella, California, goes by the nickname “The Towering Inferno.” The 21-year-old Fundora throws an abundant amount of punches that rain down on his opponents.
