Dharry eyes world title shot against Rodriguez

In front of the thousands of attendees which included His Excellency, President Dr. Irfaan Ali, Minister of Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle, The Indian High Commissioner, Dr KJ Srinivasa and other dignitaries, Elton Dharry and Orlando Penalba did not disappoint in their enthralling slugfest.

In the aftermath of capturing the WBC International super flyweight title on Saturday night, Elton Dharry is ready for another shot at bringing Guyana its next world title.

Dharry survived a terrifying final round knockdown against a game Orlando Penalba of Panama to claim the vacant title at the National Stadium. The unanimous victory which stretched his record to 26 (15KOs)-6-1, puts him firmly on the path to a world title shot versus WBC Super flyweight world champion, Jesse Rodriguez. 

In an interview with this publication yesterday during a celebratory lunch at the Everest Cricket Club pavilion, Dharry said he is ready for his shot.
