Действие будет тесьмой жить для будущего выхода в эфир на CBS Sports Network.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КО), борются Вичита, 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, Хартман Arena.
In his last fight this past September 23й, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Кендрик “Uprising” Latchman who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 фунты. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 и 59-55 дважды.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ajtai (19-9, 12 КО) has already had 28 про бои, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Цзоу, бывший Всемирной боксерской организации (WBO) наилегчайшем весе мира.
“далеко, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Эрнандес’ промоутер John Andersen (“КО Найт Боксинг ООО) сказал. “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 фунты.
“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. В наилегчайшем дивизионе, 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 PresidentЖ Ц. Курреж добавленной. “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.”
