PARK CITY, Maj. (Februar 11, 2018) – US. Olympian and hometown favorite Nico Hernandez captured the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title in his fourth professional fight, headlining last night’s “KO Night Boksning” Guld & Ære” kort, på Hartman Arena i Park City, Kansas.
Præsenteret af “KO Night Boxing LLC,” the card was taped live to be shown at a later date on CBS Sports Network. “KO Night Boksning” Guld & Ære” kort, presented by KO Night Boxing LLC,
The 22-year-old Hernandez (4-0, 3 KOS) stopped last-minute replacement, spil Victor “The Bull” Torres, i femte runde.
Hernandez’ oprindelige modstander, Hungarian champion Joseph Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOS), never made it to Wichita due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. Ajtai lost one day in Frankfurt, Tyskland, after leaving his passport on the plane he took from Budapest. Once he landed in Chicago onsdag, he was tied up by a visa issue at U.S. Customs. He missed his connecting flight to Wichita and because of snowstorms that grounded numerous flights, including those to Wichita, Ajtai never made it out of O’Hare Airport, stranded there for several days.
The IBA granted a special exception for Hernandez to fight Torres, due to these unforeseen problems, with the agreement that Hernandez would next fight Ajtai for an IBA title.
It was an electric night,” promotor John Andersen sagde. “Igen, Nico made the proper adjustment that can be credited to his amateur pedigree. In the amateurs, opponents often change at the last moment and Nico has overcome many obstacles during his boxing career. We’re going to give Josef another title shot against Nico in April or May. They have unfinished business together!
I was very pleased with Nico’s performance. It’s the best I’ve seen him. He was unbelievable in every way, on point throughout the fight. We also want to give Torres credit for accepting the fight on such late notice.
Hernandez came out fast from the start, battering Torresbody with tremendous combinations, and he never let up. Torres absorbed punishment but remained upright, but IBA referee Steve Smoger halted the action in the fifth round for Torres’ sikkerhed.
I’m not leaving this belt,” Hernandez commented at the post fight press conference as he handled his IBA Americas belt. “It’s going everywhere with me. I was looking forward to this fight and I’m ready to continue my success. This is the first (title belt) of many. I got what I worked hard for. I want to thank my coaches, all the work paid off, and now I have this (title belt).”
I co-featured begivenhed, Minneapolis welterweight Javonte Starks (13-2, 7 KOS) and Mexican veteran Cesar Soriano (28-36-2, 17 KOS) fought to a six-round majority draw.

2016 Olympisk bronze medaljevinder Nico Hernandez Fuldt genvundet og raring at gå i 1. titelkamp

“KO Night Boksning: Guld & Ære” for
ledig IBA Americas fluevægt titel vs. Jozsef Ajtai
Februar. 10 på Hartman Arena i Park City, KS
PARK CITY, Kansas (Januar 22, 2018) – 2016 Olympisk bronze medaljevinder og hjemby helten Nico Hernandez er kommet sig helt fra en skade, der udsatte hans December 2ND kæmpe for at Saturdeay, Februar 10, versus ungarsk mester Jozsef “Little RedAjtai in the the eight-round main event for the vacant International Boxing Association (IBA) Americas flyweight title, headlining the “KO Night Boksning: Guld & Ære” kort, på Hartman Arena i Park City, Kansas.
“KO Night Boksning: Guld & Ære” is a presentation of KO Night Boxing LLC., in association with Hartman Arena, and sponsored in part by Park City (KS), Twister City Harley-Davidson og Metro PCS.
The action will be taped live for future airing on CBS Sports Network.
The 22-year-old Hernandez (3-0, 2 KOS), fighting out of Wichita, suffered an undisclosed injury that forced him to withdraw from the Dec. 2ND kamp. Neither Hernandez nor his promoter, John Andersen (KO Night Boksning, LLC), have revealed any details about Nico’s injury to avoid giving his opponent any possible advantage to target in the ring.
“Jeg har det godt, ready to fight,” Hernandez commented. “We wanted to make sure that I was injury free and I am 100-percent. I’m going to do whatever is needed to win this fight. Fighting for my first title means a lot to me. I didn’t think it would happen this fast. I want everybody to see that I can be competitive with the best in my division. En sejr 10th februar will get me there a lot closer.

My opponent like to runs a lot and he’s quick, so I need to have my legs under me. Other than that, selv, I should be okay. He has fought some good guys. I can’t wait to get in the ring in front of my fans.
Ajtai (19-9, 12 KOS), who is one year and six days younger than Hernandez, has already fought in five title fights. He also went the full 10-round distance, albeit in a loss by decision in 2016, to two-time Olympic gold medalist Shiming Zou, det tidligere World Boxing Organization (WBO) flyweight world champion. Fighting in his opponent’s hometown isn’t a problem for Ajtai, who has vast road experience having fought as a pro in the USA, Storbritannien, Spanien, Tyskland, Ukraine and Slovakia.
Nico will not know where I will be in the ring,” Ajtai predicted. “When he looks to the left for me, I will go to the right; when he tries to find me on the right, I will be on the left. When he wants to rest, I will come forward punching; when he wants to punch, he won’t find me.
I have a plan for this fight and I’m sure he does as well. Men, i ringen, only one fighter’s plan can succeed. It’s going to be a good fight, but I can’t promise the public that Nico will be the winner.
I’m excited that Nico is 100-percent healthy for this fight,” Andersen said. “We couldn’t be happier to bring this great fight, and many more as we move forward, to the great city of Wichita.
