Nigeria’s US-based middleweight boxer, Gifted Cole will target unbeaten streak when he steps out in a 12-round bout against Mexican Jaudiel Zepeda on Friday.
Cole, the title holder of WBF junior middleweight champion, Global Boxing Federation super middle weight and Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) International Super Middleweight crowns, is determined to show class against the Mexican.
The Nigerian said he trained hard and also ready for the faceoff against his opponent.
“I’m aware he is a very good boxer and a good test for me as well.
“For me, it is going to be an interesting bout as the fans are going to have a rollicking time.
“However, I promise him a good fight and bring glory back to my country Nigeria,” Cole assured.
It can be recalled that Cole’s opponent, Miguel Lopez, who is also a Mexican failed to show up in his last fight.
Gifted Cole gave back to the society and help discover great boxing talents that can represent Nigeria in the nearest future.
The Ajegunle-born boxer like many Nigerians was not impressed by the lack of representation of our pugilists at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics which prompted his decision to hold a 1-day boxing clinic at Festac, Lagos and in Lekki last year for the sole purpose of helping to discover boxers who would represent Nigeria in the nearest future at the biggest stage.
