Recently, former world super midweight Boxing champion Joe Karzahe (46-0, 32KO) told the media that if he can continue to fight, he will definitely want to challenge the first superstar in active boxing Sule Avarez (57-1-2, 39KO). Karzaher announced his retirement in early 2009, after successfully defending his title 21 times in a row at 168 pounds and upgrading to 175 pounds to beat Hopkins and Roy Jones, but the two men were already out of luck at the time.
Karzahe said: "What else can be picky about Avarez? He swept 168 pounds completely, and it took me years to do it all, which proves that he has a strong team of agents. Avarez is a good boxer and to be honest I would love to fight him. The last time I watched him play against Caleb Plante (21-1, 12KO), I felt very close in front of me, and I couldn't help but wonder, what would be the result if I played with Plante? The game against Avrez was absolutely wonderful, and if I had been in my playing year, it would have been not only the most expensive game for me, but also the most brilliant game of my career. ”
Most of Karzahe's career has been in the United Kingdom, so he is often called the "Prince of castles" by boxing fans, but the center of the world's boxing world is in the United States, which is why Karzahe has not been a boxing superstar. However, in the BOXFEC - British boxer history ranking, Karzaho's ranking is still quite high, second only to Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32KO), after all, he has defended his title 21 times in a row to tie the historical record of 168 pounds, which is not worth much, but the results are still good.
