In a clash of southpaws, United
Kingdom´s Prince Patel will
square off with Ronald Ramos
from Colombia for the vacant
World Boxing Federation (WBF)
World Bantamweight title on
January 13 in one of the
featured bouts of a show in
Budapest, Hungary.
26-year-old Patel, 17-0-1 (12),
who currently holds the WBO
European title, has fought in
Hungary nine times previously,
so he will be returning to old
stomping grounds for what will
be the biggest fight of his
career to date.
Coming off Budapest-victories
over Julias Kisarawe (29-5-1)
and John Chuwa (16-1), the brash
and colourful Patel will face
his most experienced and
accomplished foe to date in
Ramos, a former WBO world
title-challenger who brings a
41-17-4 (20) record.
Patel has by far been the more
active of the two in recent
years, amassing no less than
eleven bouts in 2018, but Ramos
holds a clear advantage in
experience, making this an
interesting encounter of a young
contender on his way up, against
a veteran going for glory before
its too late.
The winner will join a list of
previous World Boxing Federation
(WBF) World Bantamweight
Champions that includes the
likes of Joseph Agbeko, Steve
Molitor, Narongrit Pirang (AKA
Fahsan 3K Battery), and Prayat
Sawaingam.
