PARK CITY, KANSAS (ຕຸລາ 23, 2017) – 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Nico Hernandez will be fighting for his first professional title on ວັນເສົາ, ເດືອນທັນວາ 2, when he takes on Hungarian invaderJozsef “ນ້ອຍສີແດງ” Ajtai in the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Flyweight Championship, ບຸເພດານ “KO ກາງຄືນມວຍ: ຄໍາ & ລັດສະຫມີພາບ” ທີ່ Hartman ສະຫນາມກິລາໃນ Park City, Kansas.
“KO ກາງຄືນມວຍ: ຄໍາ & ລັດສະຫມີພາບ” ຄໍາສະເຫນີຂອງ KO ກາງຄືນມວຍ LLC., ໃນສະມາຄົມກັບ Hartman ສະຫນາມກິລາ, ແລະສະຫນັບສະຫນູນບາງສ່ວນໂດຍ Twister City Harley-Davidson Metro PCS, Mort’s Cigar Bar ແລະ Jimmy Egg.
ການດໍາເນີນການຈະໄດ້ຮັບການບັນທຶກເທບທີ່ມີຊີວິດສໍາລັບການສົນທະນາໃນອະນາຄົດກ່ຽວກັບການ CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOs), ການຕໍ່ສູ້ຂອງ Wichita, will be fighting in a scheduled eight-round bout for the first time. His three pro fights to date were all scheduled for six rounds and each was held in Kansas, the last two in his second home, Hartman Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23rd, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Kendrick “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 ປອນ. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 ແລະ 59-55 ສອງຄັ້ງ.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOs) has already had 28 ການຕໍ່ສູ້ສົ່ງເສີມ, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, ອະດີດອົງການມວຍໂລກ (WBO) ຟາຍເວດແຊ້ມໂລກ.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Hernandez’ ການສົ່ງເສີມການ John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) ກ່າວວ່າ. “Ajtai has much more experience as a pro than Nico, plus he went the distance against a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Zou. Ajtai is a busy fighter with a good knockout ratio (63%). This fight is going to tell us a lot about Nico, especially his power at 112 ປອນ.
“Nico fighting for a title in only his fourth pro fight proves that all our hard efforts of KO Night Boxing and Team Nico has paid off quickly and we’re grateful that the IBA has given him this great opportunity. I didn’t realize the high quality of champions the IBA has had in the past and we’re proud that Nico can someday join this group. In the flyweight division, Nico may enter world title fight shot discussions earlier than I had originally thought, which was in his third year as a pro. An impressive performance against Ajtai could position him for a world title fight next year with less than 10 fights under his belt.”
“We’re excited to have an American Olympian fighting for our first Americas title,” IBA PresidentJ.C. Courreges ເຂົ້າມາ. “Nico Hernandez is an Olympic bronze medalist and we’re hopeful that he will develop into an IBA world champion in the not too distant future. His amateur pedigree speaks for itself and we’re very happy to have this young man fighting for the IBA Americas title.”
IBA world champions during the past quarter-century include Hall-of-Famers Oscar De ປະ Hoya,George Foreman, Roberto Duran ແລະ Arturo Gatti, as well as stars such as Roy Jones, Jr.,Bernard Hopkins, Shane ໂມເຊ, James Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson ແລະ Antonio TARVER.
