Crystal City, 弗吉尼亚州 (八月 18, 2016)–One of the best stories in boxing will have another chapter written 这个星期五 night as Devar Ferhadi 发生在 Christopher Petty in a four-round bout at the Crystal City Hilton in Crystal City, 弗吉尼亚州.
在主要事件, 不败 麦凯乐福克斯 will make his 2nd headlining appearance 这个星期五 night when he takes on Somner马丁 in a junior welterweight bout scheduled for eight rounds
Ferhadi, of Frederick, Maryland has a perfect mark of 6-0 五击倒, just completed his third year of medical school in his native Kurdistan.
Because he finished up school at the end of June, 该 21 year-old started his training camp in Kurdistan, before heading back to the states to spar with the likes of undefeated middleweight Immanuwel Aleem, undefeated junior middleweight Jarrett Hurd and recent light heavyweight world title challenger Thomas Williams.
“This has been a long camp, but I am ready to fight,” said Ferhadi. “I started over there and I came back home to finish camp off.”
Ferhadi, who will pursue General or internal medicine when his fight days are complete, is ready for what the unknown Petty will bring.
” He is a last-minute replacement and a southpaw, But I have prepared hard and I prepared to win.”
There were several opponents that were offered the fight with Ferhadi and due to his amateur pedigree combined with the world class sparring that Ferhadi consistently gets when he is home in Maryland, he is looking to step up the competition.
“We are always looking to fight better opponents and we have no problem stepping up.”
This will be Devar’s first fight since February, where he was home from school long enough to stop Travis Davidson in one round in Roanoke, 弗吉尼亚州. But between training and a heavy school load, Ferhadi is grateful for the time off from the ring.
“The time off actually helps me. It’s tough jumping from one camp right into another one, but I am ready to go and expect me to put on a show.”
Said Ferhadi’s manager, Jason Boyer, “Devar has three more years of medical school and when he is completed that, he will be come a full-time boxer. 在那时候, he will just be about 24 岁, so I know the best boxing years have yet to come.”
