Nicaraguan contender Ramiro
Blanco has only one thing in
mind when he challenges World
Boxing Federation (WBF) World
Super Featherweight Champion
Patrick Kinigamazi on Friday
June 1 in Geneva, Switzerland.
To return home as the new
Champion!
Guided by former two-time WBA
World Champion Rosendo Alvarez,
who ruled at Strawweight and
Light Flyweight between 1995 and
2004, 22-year-old Blanco has
compiled a 17-3-2 (10) record
since turning professional four
years ago.
In July of 2016 he captured a
WBA regional title, and he is
now determined to bring his
career to the next level and
follow in the footsteps of his
famous manager by winning a
world championship, saying:
“This
is a major opportunity for me.
Kinigamazi is a good fighter,
and he is very awkward and
difficult to beat, but I believe
in myself and I will return to
Nicaragua with the WBF world
championship belt. There is no
two ways about it, I will be
victorious!”
Patrick Kinigamazi, 28-2 (4),
won the WBF World Super
Featherweight title with a
unanimous decision over
Argentinian Juan Jose Farias
last June. He retained the title
in November, stopping Robert
Laki from Hungary in five
rounds.
Those accomplishments earned
Kinigamazi and his coach,
Giorgio Costantino, WBF Fighter
of the Year and Trainer of the
Year awards, and the 35-year-old
has no intentions of letting the
young Nicaraguan pup spoil the
party.
Born in Rwanda but fighting out
of Switzerland his entire
professional career,
Kinigamazi´s second WBF world
title-defense will headline a
show promoted by Tundra
Promotions at the Salle bout du
Monde in Geneva.
