The fight was ruled a draw by split decision.[7]

Fundora faced the unbeaten Daniel Lewis on 22 February 2020, on the Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury II undercard.[8] He won the fight by unanimous decision, with scores of 98–92, 99–91 and 97–93.[9] Fundora was next booked to face Nathaniel Gallimore on 22 August 2020.
