“Lou called and told me about what happened to Viktor Postol and that Indongo could be the new opponent and I said yes immediately,"Sanoi Prograis. “I always want to fight the best and with Indongo being a former unified champion, he brings a great deal of credibility to the fight. Both of his titles were won on the road in Russia and Scotland, so I know how fearless and determined he will be.

 

 

“I had to switch up my training a little for sparring with Indongo being a lefty and a little taller, but I’m sparring with middleweights. I’ve heard how hard he hits and I want to be fully prepared. Maybe down the line Postol and I could still fight, but I’m only focused on Indongo now. This is my time and my year to shine. I’m ready to put on a spectacular performance on Maaliskuu 9."

 

 

 

 

“This fight came together in a matter of two phone calls – one to Prograis and one to Indongo – and that speaks volumes about the championship mentality of both fighters,” said Lou DiBella, Presidentti Dibella Viihde. “Prograis wanted to fight the best fighter available, even if that fighter presented a different style and was recently a unified champion.

I feel strong going into this fight. I’m in great shape.”
