The talented 30-year-old super lightweight from Uzbekistan Shokhzhakhon Ergashev (21-0, 19 KOs), who at the beginning of this year seemed to be about to retire, but later changed his mind, will enter the ring next night in Dearborn (USA) against the Argentinean Luis Alberto Veron (19 -3-2, 9 KOs).
Ergashev’s promoter, Dmitry Salita, is counting on his ward to enter the title race soon.
“Ergashev trained for two months with Sugar Hill Steward and his team,” the official said. – It is ranked 4th in the IBF rankings and is also in the top 10 of all other major organizations. Josh Taylor is rumored to be relinquishing his IBF title. I hope that victory in the upcoming fight will move Ergashev up the rankings and take him to fight against the best super lightweights in the world.”
“There is not a single boxer in this division that Ergashev would avoid – not Josh Taylor, not Regis Prograis, not any other so-called elite fighter,” Salita assured. “He is ready to fight any of them and we will pursue those opportunities in the most aggressive manner possible.”
