The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КОс), бори се за Вицхита, 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 Арена.
In his last fight this past September 23рд, Hernandez was forced to fight late replacement Кендрицк “Uprising” Латцхман who outweighed the celebrated American Olympian by more than 10 фунти. Hernandez won a six-round unanimous decision by scores of 60-54 и 59-55 двапут.
Despite being younger than Hernandez by almost a year to the day, Ајтаи (19-9, 12 КОс) has already had 28 про туче, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year to two-time Olympic gold medalist Шиминг Зу, бившег светског боксерске организације (ВБО) Фливеигхт светски шампион.
“By far, Nico is fighting the toughest opponent of his pro career,” Хернандез’ организатор John Andersen (“KO Night Boxing LLC) рекао. “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 фунти.
“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 PresidentЈ.Ц. Courreges додао. “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 Оскар де ла Хоја,Георге Фореман, Роберто Дуран и Артуро Гатти, as well as stars such as Рои Јонес, Јр.,Бернард Хопкинс, Шејн Мосели, Јамес Тонеи, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Дијего Цорралес, Хосе Луис Цастилло, Глен Џонсон и Антонио Тарвер.
