וילמינגטון, DE (פבואר 13, 2017)-World rated junior middleweight קנאת איסלאם is looking for a big outing this יום שישי לילה כשהוא לוקח על רובסון אסיס (16-3, 9 KO של) ברוי ג'ונס, ג 'וניור. – Bobby Gunn WBF Cruiserweight title Pay-Per-View co-featured bout at the צ'ייס סנטר בווילמינגטון, דלאוור.
The Islam – Assis bout is scheduled for 10-rounds.
Islam (22-0, 18 KO של) has been training in his adopted home of Pahoke, Florida by way of Kazakhstan, is ready for whatever Assis will bring to the ring.
“האימון היה נהדר. I know Assis is a southpaw, והוא אוהב להתאגרף. That’s about it! Between all my amateur experience and pro bouts all over the world, I am ready for anything,”said Islam.
Before taking this fight, Islam was mentioned as possible opponent for WBO junior middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez, before the Mexican superstar took a bout with Julio Cesar Chavez, ג 'וניור. This would be a fight that the 32 year-old Islam would relish.
“My people in Kazakhstan would love to see this fight. My team wants to see it, and I want to be in that fight. If that opportunity comes, I will focus and get the right sparring, and be ready for that opportunity.”
But before any of that can happen, Islam must 1st get past Assis on a card headlined by the legendary Roy Jones, ג 'וניור. This is an opportunity, that Islam isn’t taking lightly.
“רוי ג'ונס, ג 'וניור. is a legend, and a big name in boxing. In the past and still today he is big. It is an honor to fight on a card that he is in the main event.”
Back home in Kazakhstan, Islam is getting close to legendary status himself, as on29 באוקטובר, he defeated Patrick Allotey in front of 18,000 fans in his homeland to capture the WBO Inter-Continental title and retain his WBA Fedlatin Super Welterweight titles.
“Fighting in front of my home people means more to me than anything. It shows them that I represent their culture and they like to see my fighting style. It was a dream come true to fight in front of so many of my people. They were cheering my name, and for that I am thankful for them.”
“We will return there to Kazakhstan and fight again. I don’t want them to miss the fight onה -17 בפברואר that I have with Assis. I am always thankful for my fans who always support me. I want to thank Nelsons Promotions, Raynelo Management and my sponsor Zheizu Company. I always want to David Feldman Promotions, King’s Promotions and Roy Jones for giving me the opportunity to fight on this card.
