Errol Spence Jr. and Sebastian Fundora have reportedly agreed to fight for the WBC junior middleweight belt at AT&T Stadium in October.
On Friday, sources told ESPN that both fighters agreed to the deal as PBC hopes to stage a Prime Video pay-per-view at the home of the Dallas Cowboys later this year.
A spokesperson from PBC declined to confirm the deal when contacted by DailyMail.com.
After Fundora's bloody upset over Tim Tszyu in March to win the title, Spence stepped into the squared circle to call him out.
'It's time to get it on,' Spence said after the slugfest. 'He got a pretty good height, but we'll see. We'll break him down like we always do.'

Spence referred to Fundora's near-6-foot-6 frame - a rare stature for the weight division that aids him with an 80-inch reach. Fundora's first title victory came behind his only loss to Brian Mendoza in a seventh-round KO in 2023.
One year later, Fundora stepped in on 11 days' notice to replace injured Keith Thurman and became ESPN's top junior middleweight after beating Tszyu.
Dubbed 'The Towering Inferno,' Fundora and his sister Gabriela are the first brother and sister duo to be world champions in boxing. Following his short-notice effort, Fundora moved to a 21-1-1 record with 14 knockouts.
On the other hand, Spence will make his debut at 154 pounds after losing in a ninth-round TKO to Terence Crawford in July.
The setback handed Spence his first blemish in what was a 28-0 record with 22 finishes.
