In celebration of World Autism Awareness Day, 6' 7” super welterweight prospect Sebastian “Towering Inferno” Fundora visited Mountain Vista Elementary in Indio, California, to speak about embracing differences.
As the tallest fighter in the history of his 154-lb division, the 21-year-old southpaw giant Fundora (12-0, 8 KOs) knows a thing or two about being different. Fundora, from Coachella, California, says he made several new friends and fans and the children seemed to very much enjoy his presentation.
Fundora will return to action in the main event of a card featuring all undefeated fighters on June 28.

Hunter, who is managed by Greg Hannley and advised by former two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman, hails from Las Vegas and will have his hometown fans in attendance. Hunter is currently training with former world champion, Bones Adams and veteran trainer Kevin Henry, and feels he has the skill set to defeat Rakhmanov, who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions.
"This is a very tough fight, my toughest to date so far." stated Hunter. "Rakhmanov has faced a lot of good opponents, but he's never been in the ring with a fighter like me, who can make adjustments on the fly. I'm confident I have the skills to come out on top and having a lot of fans in attendance will be inspiring. I'm ready to take my career to the next level with a convincing victory."
"Keith Hunter is a great kid with a lot of confidence," said manager Greg Hannley, CEO of Prince Ranch Boxing, "It's this type of fight that will take him to the next level in his career. I know he has the skills to become something special in the welterweight division. This Friday he'll prove why he should be considered as one of the top prospects in boxing."
"Keith is a bad boy and I know he's going to show up this Friday at Sam's Town," said Prince Ranch Boxing adviser Hasim Rahman, "He's in tough but I know he has the talent to win this fight. At this level, you must get past these types of fights."
Keith Hunter is promoted by Greg Cohen, founder and CEO of Greg Cohen Promotions.
Star Boxing's recently signed undefeated international prospects, #1 rated Irish welterweight, DYLAN "THE REAL DEAL" MORAN (now 10-0 5KO's) and Dominican Republic bantamweight prospect and titlist, JUNIOR "BAMBITO" ALMONTE (now 12-0 9KO's) both fought over the weekend in their first bouts as Star Boxing fighters.
Moran stepped in at the National Stadium in Dublin Ireland against former European champion, Hungarian, GYORGY MIZSEI JR.. Moran maintained a come forward style over the 8-round fight, trading freely at times with his Hungarian foe. Moran forced the action, pinning Mizsei (now 26-26-1 15KO's) against the rope's multiple times, as the former European champion fought back with some sharp counter punches. A counter punch in the 5th round caused a small cut to open on the bridge of the Irishmen's nose, but it did not slow the southpaw as Moran continued his relentless pressure. After the full 8-rounds Moran took home the victory via unanimous decision, remaining undefeated (all three judges scored the fight 79-74).
On Sunday night, Junior Almonte laced up at the Club Plaza Valerio in Santiago, Dominican Republic against ANGELO "EL OLIMPICO" MUNOZ (now 18-16 11KO's). The Dominican and WBC FECARBOX Bantamweight champion quickly displayed his fast and heavy hands, wasting no time, earning a first round TKO victory.
Star Boxing promoter, JOE DEGUARDIA had this to say about both victories, "I was happy to have both Dylan and Junior jump right into action after recently signing a promotional agreement with Star Boxing. Dylan has a strong Irish fanbase, and after watching his fight on Saturday night, it is easy to see why. Junior has an impressive amateur background, and it shows in both his comfort and ring generalship. Clearly his power showed Sunday night. I look forward to continuing Star Boxing's relationship with Dylan and Junior and their respective teams, and I am excited for what is in store for these two great prospects."
