 Парк Цити, Канзас ( Новембар 20, 2017) – USA Olympian and hometown hero Нико Ернандес and Hungarian flyweight champion Јожеф “Мала црвена” Ајтаи took completely different paths into the professional ranks. Hernandez vs, Ajtai is the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (ИБА) Americas flyweight title fight, Субота ноћ, Децембар 2, на “КО ноћ Бокс: злато & Слава” картица, у Хартман Арена у Парк Цити, Канзас.
“КО ноћ Бокс: злато & Слава” је презентација КО Нигхт Бокс ЛЛЦ., у сарадњи са Хартман Арена, и под покровитељством делом Твистер Град Харлеи Давидсон Метро ПЦС, Морт'с Цигар Бар иJimmy’s Egg.
Акција ће бити снимљен уживо за будуће проветравање на ЦБС Спортс Нетворк.
The 21-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 КОс), бори се за Вицхита, was a decorated amateur boxer who compiled a sterling 123-12 запис, highlighted by his bronze-medal winning performance at the 2016 Олимпијске игре у Бразилу. Hernandez made his pro debut last March. All his fights have been at home, each has been in the main event, and on national television. His fight against Ajtai, међутим, will be his first title fight, coming in only his fourth pro bout.
Ајтаи, који је годину дана и шест дана млађи од Хернандез, made his professional debut 2 ½ years ago, and he’s already fought in five title fights.
Хернандез’ amateur pedigree versus Ajtai’s pro experience?
“I feel like I’m already at the level of a lot of top pro fighters,” Hernandez said. The only advantage he has is he’s used to fighting more rounds than I (this is Nico’s first scheduled 8-rounder), but I don’t plan on letting it go the distance anyways.
“I feel blessed to have this IBA title fight opportunity so early in my pro career. It honestly couldn’t come any faster. I do believe it will be special and open a tot of opportunities to fight bigger names once I win this fight. A win should open-up additional title fight opportunities, both overseas and, Надајмо се, back here at home to help us continue building Wichita into a fight town.”
Ајтаи (19-9, 12 КОс) has already had 28 про туче, including a full 10-round distance loss by decision last year at Madison Square Garden in New York City to two-time Olympic gold medalist Шиминг Зу, бившег светског боксерске организације (ВБО) Фливеигхт светски шампион. The Hungarian has fought at home in Hungary, as well as on the road in the United Kingdom, Шпанија, Немачка, Украјина и Словачка. A trip to America’s heartland doesn’t faze him in the least.
“He will be at home, where everybody wants to fight, but this isn’t a problem for me,” Ajtai explained. “I know he is a good boxer, but I will try to be a bit better December 2НД. When my condition is good, as it is for this fight, nobody likes to fight me.
“Ово је велика прилика за мене. It’s always difficult to beat a good fighter but doing so is real success. Fighting Shiming Zou in only my fourth fight was very nice for me. I want that feeling again in this fight against Nico.”
Hernandez realizes that this fight could be his last at home for a while, due to the lack of quality American flyweights, and that most world-class fighters in his weight class are from Central America, Thailand and Japan.
“I don’t think I’ll have many more fights at home,” Hernandez admits. “I don’t think that will matter too much because I feel more pressure fighting at home than elsewhere. I will miss everyone cheering my name like they do at home. I think I’ll be traveling more to fight bigger names to work my way up the ladder until I’m at the top.
“I think the early rounds in this fight (вс. Ајтаи) will be a chess match because, from what I’ve seen, he runs a lot. I feel that once I start landing my body shots, he’ll slowdown in the latter rounds. и, like I’ve said, I don’t plan on this fight going the distance.”
Ајтаи, наравно, isn’t traveling all the way to Kansas to visit Dorothy or the Wizard of Oz, Он долази да победи!
“Нико неће знати где ћу бити у рингу,” Ајтаи предвидео. “Када он гледа у лево за мене, Ја ћу ићи на десно; када он покушава да ме нађе са десне стране, Ја ћу бити на левој страни. Када жели да се одмори, Доћи ћу напред пробијање; када жели да удари, Он ме неће наћи.
“Имам план за ту борбу и сигуран сам да он ради као. Али, у прстену, Једини план Један борац може успети. То ће бити добра борба, али не могу да обећам јавност да ће Нико бити победник.”
The full “злато & Слава” card will be announced later this week. Сви противници и борци су подложни промени.
