 PARK CITY, Kansas ( Azaroa 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Nico Hernandez and Hungarian flyweight champion Jozsef “Little Red” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks. Hernandez vs, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title fight, Larunbata Gau, Abendua 2, on the “KO Night Boxing: Gold & Glory” Epaileak txartel, Hartman Arena Park City at, Kansas.

Ekintza zuzeneko grabatu egingo CBS Sports Network on etorkizuneko airearen for.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 Kos), borrokan Wichita kanpo, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 erregistro, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Olinpiar Brasilen Games. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, ordea, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, nor da urtebete eta sei egun Hernandez baino gazteagoa, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Hernandez’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandezek esan du. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
“I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, hopefully, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 Kos) has already had 28 pro borrokak, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, ohia Munduko Boxeo Erakundea (WBO) flyweight munduko txapeldun. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Espainiako, Alemanian, Ukraina eta Eslovakian. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
“He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2nd. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Niri aukera handi bat da. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.”
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
“I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
“I think the early rounds in this fight (vs. Ajtai) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. eta, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, ikastaroa, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, irabazteko ari da datozen!
“Nico izango ez dakit non Biribilean izango naiz,” Ajtai iragarri. “Noiz itxura ezkerrera zuen niretzat, eskubidea izango dut joan; denean me aurkitu eskuinaldetik saiatzen zen, Ezkerreko izango naiz. Noiz atseden nahi du, aurrera etorriko da I zulaketa; denean zulatu nahi du, ez du aurkitu me.
“Borroka honetan plan bat daukat eta ziur baita zuen ez naiz. Baina, Biribilean, bakarra borrokalaria en bat plan arrakasta daiteke. Honez ona borroka bat izango da, baina ezin dut publiko hori Nico irabazlea izango agintzen.”
The full “Gold & Glory” card will be announced later this week. Borrokak eta borrokalari guztiak dira aldaketaren menpe.
