Newly crowned World Boxing Federation (WBF) World Middleweight Champion Diego Diaz Gallardo from Argentina is the WBF Boxer of the Month for March 2017.
Gallardo traveled to Fort-de-France in Martinique to dethrone reigning titlist Michel Mothmora on March 31, scoring a knockout in round eight and delivering on his promise to come out victorious and make his dream of a world title come true.
Clearly the underdog, Diaz Gallardo floored Mothmora in the first round, but then fell behind on the scorecards before coming back with the finish in round eight. He improved his record to 21-5-1 (12) in the process.
