"My last fight was a main event as well but I felt like I was on the 'B' side. This time I feel like I'm on the 'A' side, I'm in Southern California in front of all my fans, so I'm excited," said Sebastian Fundora.
At 6'6" @sebastianfundo1 doesn't just tower over his opponents by stature, his performance and skill continues to rise.

"My sister as well, is on the card, so it's going to be a family affair," he said.
“My sister is fighting as well on this card. She’s just a workhorse and that’s why I think she’ll probably become champion before me, if anything.”@SebastianFundo1 @GabrielaFundor3 #FundoraOcampo pic.twitter.com/IvbpNCzrG4

Gabriela, 20-years-old and fighting in the flyweight division is undefeated as well but younger in her career with only 8 fights under her belt. She will be on the undercard Saturday with the hopes of adding another win to her resume, which she hopes of one day will result in a world title.
"I want to become a world champion so that's the goal and what we're in boxing for," said Gabriela Fundora.
"I want to be, not only a world champion, but the face of women boxing as well. I want females to look up to me and I want to be one of the greatest female leaders," she said.
