 PARK CITY, 堪薩斯州 ( 十一月 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero 尼科·埃爾南德斯 and Hungarian flyweight champion 約瑟夫 “小紅” Ajtai took completely different paths into the professional ranks. 埃爾南德斯VS, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title fight, 星期六 夜晚, 十二月 2, 在 “KO拳擊之夜: 金 & 榮耀” 卡, 在哈特曼競技場帕克城, 堪薩斯州.
“KO拳擊之夜: 金 & 榮耀” 是的KO晚上拳擊LLC的介紹。, 與哈特曼競技場協會, 和部分贊助 龍捲風市哈雷戴維森 地鐵PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar 和Jimmy’s Egg.
該行動將進行現場錄音為今後CBS體育網播出.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 科斯), 戰鬥出來的威奇托, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 記錄, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 奧運會在巴西. 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, 然而, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ajtai, 誰為一年六天比年輕的埃爾南德斯, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
埃爾南德斯’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. 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, 希望, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ajtai (19-9, 12 科斯) has already had 28 親打架, 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, 前世界拳擊組織 (WBO) 輕量級世界冠軍. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, 西班牙, 德國, 烏克蘭和斯洛伐克. 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.
“這對我來說是一個巨大的機會. 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. 和, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ajtai, 當然, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, 他的到來贏得!
“尼科不會知道我會在環,” Ajtai預測. “當他看向左側為我, 我會去的權利; 當他試圖找到我的權利, 我會在左邊. 當他想休息, 我會挺身而出衝; 當他想衝, 他不會找我.
“我對這場鬥爭的一個計劃，我敢肯定，他確實也. 但, 在環, 只有一架戰鬥機的計劃能成功. 這將是一個很好的戰鬥, 但我不能保證公眾尼科將成為贏家。”
The full “金 & 榮耀” card will be announced later this week. 所有戰鬥和戰士都受到變革.
