Jordan Gill, 27, hopes to forget the frustrating 2021 with a win. This weekend, Jordan Gill will take on a match against Karim Guerfi at O2 Stadium in London, UK. The match was a cushion battle in the current WBO next heavyweight World Champion Lawrence Okolie's World Champion Title Defense Championship. DaZN, an internationally renowned streaming platform, will broadcast live to the world (excluding New Zealand and Australia).
Jordan Gil was supposed to play Against Frenchman Karim Golfie at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena on 11 December last year, but Karim Golfi had to withdraw from the game due to a sudden illness. Jordan Gill enlisted argentine Alan Luques Castillo to save the game, but in a match that should not have been suspenseful, Jordan Gill's head was knocked out of a deep wound by his opponent. In the end, Jordan Gill, who could no longer fight, was forced to accept a draw.
Looking back now, Jordan Gill still has lingering feelings about that game. In an interview with reporters, he said: "To be honest, I really didn't know how much I was hurt. I just remember lying in my hospital bed at the end and getting a few stitches on my head. Looking back now, I was still a little scared, and when the doctors stitched my head, they found that the wound was very close to the artery, which was too dangerous. Fortunately, the wound was on the head (above the hairline), and if the wound was on the face, I would have to be forced to undergo a facelift. ”
"But even then I just rested for a week before I went back to the boxing gym to resume training. Because I know there's still a Battle for the European Boxing Title waiting for me. All in all, the frustrating year of 2021 is a thing of the past, and I'm going to look to the future. 2022 will be a year for me and I look forward to this weekend's race bringing me a fresh start. Jordan Gil told reporters.
Speaking about his opponent, Jordan Gill paid enough respect to France's Karim Golfi. He told reporters: "I think Karim Golfie is a very good boxer, and no one can deny that. I have a lot of respect for him, he has challenged the World Champion (WBA, IBO) and is now the holder of the European Boxing Champion title. He's very experienced, and although he's in the late stages of his career, his strength is still not to be underestimated, so I'm looking forward to playing against him. ”
In the interview, Jordan Gill also revealed some of his own preparations. "As the game draws near, I've been thinking about ways to beat Karim Golfie and my team is trying to add some new techniques to me. I will do my best to prepare for the game and I am looking forward to this game. Because this game was important to me, I dedicated my life to boxing. The sport took me away from my family and made me have to be in training every day. Arguably, this Battle for the European Boxer meant everything to me and my family. Jordan Gil explained to reporters.
"I will play at absolute master's level in the competition and plan to ko Karim Golfi in the middle and late part of the game (rounds 6 to 12), after beating Karim Golfy, I want to challenge for the title of World Boxer. Because Karim Golfie is tenth in the world on WBC, I could well take his place. Believe me, as long as I am given the opportunity to challenge the world boxing champion, I will win. Jordan Gil said confidently.
