IBF Junior kampioen vedergewicht Jonathan “Salomon Koning” Guzman (22-0, 22 KO) zal geen tijd nemen om op zijn nieuw verworven lauweren te rusten.
De Dominicaanse KO-artiest won gisteren zijn eerste wereldkampioenschap (Woensdag, Juli 20) door het stoppen van voormalige #1 mededinger Shingo Wakker worden 11 brute rondes in Osaka, Japan. De kracht van Guzman was gewoon te veel voor Wake, who fell four times before the end came at 2:16 from merciful referee Wayne Hedgpeth.
The iron-fisted Dominican could easily spend the rest of the summer celebrating the victory, but has no intention to do so.
He is quickly flying home from Japan in order to be ringside morgen (Vrijdag, Juli 22) in het Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket, Connecticut, to watch San Antonio’s Adam Lopez face Argentina’s Roman Ruben Reynoso on ShoBox: The New Generation.
Guzman’s intention is to face the winner of that fight in his first title defense.
His promoter, Sampson Lewkowicz van Sampson Boksen, says Guzman’s victory has only created a new mission for the Dominican slugger.
“He wants to clean out the division now,” zei Lewkowicz. “We told him to enjoy the victory for himself and his country, but he wants to go right back to work. That is the determination and love for what he does that has made him an undefeated champion with a perfect knockout record. I congratulate him for his first world title and for his commitment to be a true world champion.”

IBF #2 super bantamweight contender Jonathan “Salomon Koning” Guzman (21-0, 21 KO) is hard at work preparing for the “fight of his life” with trainer Hector Bermudez at Peter Welch’s Gym in Boston.
The 26-year-old KO artist from Santo Domingo, Dominicaanse Republiek, will face IBF #1 contender Shingo Wake (20-4-2, 12 KO) op Woensdag, Juli 20, at EDION Arena Osaka in Osaka, Japan, for the vacant IBF World super bantamweight title.
Guzman, who stopped Mexico’s tough Daniel Rosas in eighth round on April 29 to earn this fight, says his dreams are so close to coming true he can almost taste them. “I have waited my whole life for a world title fight and now it’s almost here,” said Guzman. “I can’t wait to get in the ring and win for my family and my country.”
Trainer Bermudez says Guzman has too many weapons to fall short in this fight. “Although Jonathan has never had to go the distance because his power is amazing, he can also box very well. He’s just never had to thus far in his career. Jonathan is the complete package and soon the world will be learning all about him. There is no way that Wake can beat him.”
