World Champs Collide In London – Choi Says He’ll Knock Asiku Out This Saturday

283

This weekend the Capital’s boxing fans will be treated to a mouth watering battle for supremacy between a current and former World Champion. The international contest, at York Hall in Bethnal Green, pits Mongolia’s two time World Featherweight Champion Choi Tseveenpürev against Australia’s former IBO World Featherweight Champion ‘Action’ Jackson Asiku in a non-Championship bout.

In an amazing coup promoter Spencer Fearon has managed to persuade the two top flight fighters to headline his Hard Knocks Boxing promotions ‘Summer Smash’ event this coming Saturday.

Choi won the vacant WBF title in 2006, with a spectacular third round stoppage of Kenyan WBF International Champion David Kiilu at the Tara Leisure Centre in Shaw, Lancashire, and successfully defended the title twice in 2007.

The following year Choi vacated the WBF title in order to challenge Liverpool’s ‘Dirty’ Derry Matthews for his WBU crown. On the fifth of April 2011, at the Bolton Arena in Bolton, Choi won his second World crown in spectacular fashion.

For five scintillating rounds Choi battered the highly rated Champion, sending Matthews to the canvas no less than five times, three times in the third and twice in fifth – the first via a wicked hook to the body midway through followed by vicious fight ending body shot in the final seconds of the round.

Choi, who never got the chance to defend the WBU crown, has longed for another championship shot and is hopeful that Saturday’s fight with Asiku, who lost his grip on the IBO belt in September, will kick start a third World championship campaign.

Speaking earlier Choi spoke of the upcoming fight and his fiercely burning championship aspirations, “My training’s over and I can knock him out, that’s it.

After this my ambition is another title, I have two belts now, WBF and WBU, but nobody wants to fight me for the belts.

I want a major belt, I need a Mexican. I like fighting, I’m ready for long time now.

The last year has been the worse time you know, so many protected fighters, they are just like kids, so protected and don’t want real fight.

British boxing used to be very, very good, nowadays they’re just like little boys, they fight like little boys.

Mongolese amateur kids would beat any top professional boxers in lower weight divisions.

I’m very happy now with Spencer (Fearon) and fighting in London. Best crowds at Hard Knock promotions shows. The best fans in the world, I will make them happy with a good win Saturday.”
