Boxing starved fans will soon be satiated with a card comprising three title fights as early as February.
This is according to USA-based prized fighter, Elton Dharry who is scheduled to headline the event tentatively set for February 5 at the National Stadium.
Dharry was scheduled to be in the ring here on Boxing Day at the same venue, but the card was postponed due to the prevailing pandemic situation and international cricket being played next month. Hence the February 5 ring date.
Said Dharry recently “Feb 5th at the National Stadium. We have three title fights. I’m fighting for the WBC International Super flyweight title, Dexter (Marques) will be fighting for the WBC International flyweight title as well and Laured Stewart will be fighting for the national title.”
The 36-year-old orthodox fighter knows that Father Time is ticking on his career and plans to put on a show in front of the local boxing-starved fans.
“I will be in contact with match-makers in New York, Panama and Mexico to get quality opponents who will come to Guyana and fight. My main aim is to win big fights and get another crack at the world title.”
Dharry who has been calling out world champions in his division, fought for the WBA Super flyweight title in 2019. However, he lost to Andrew Maloney in the latter’s hometown of Melbourne, Australia in a controversial ninth-round stoppage after the ring side doctor ended the fight, which Dharry said he was dominating, due to an eye injury.
Dharry who improved his record to 24 (14KOs)-6-1 with a first round stoppage of his last opponent in July, stated that his ultimate dream is to win a world title for Guyana.
