Irish professional boxer O'Sullivan won the world boxing championship for the first time at the age of 37. He is definitely a boxer whose fame outweighs his strength, and now he is preparing for the biggest battle of his life, hoping to successfully win the first gold belt of his life.
O'Sullivan will face Cuban-American Ellis Randy Lara at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on May 28 to compete for the WBA World Weweights title as part of a joint headline game with Davis vs Rolando Romero.
O'Sullivan has a record of 31 wins in 35 matches, 21 of which were KO matches, losing only to Billy Joe Sanders (former WBO MiddleWeight World Champion, WBO Super MiddleWeight World Champion), Chris Jr. (former IBO MiddleWeight World Champion, former IBO SuperWeight World Champion, WBA MiddleWeight World Transition Boxer), David Lemio (former IBF MiddleWeight World Champion), Jamie Monguia (former WBO Super MiddleWeight Boxer), But it was not easy to win the world championship challenge at the age of 37.
The 39-year-old Lala, a formidable rival who won the 2005 World Championships for Cuba and was originally the country's main gold medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games, was arrested and repatriated to the country in 2007 when the national team went to Brazil to participate in the Pan American Games. Later, Lara carried out the exodus again in 2008, this time successfully, and officially turned professional boxer in July of that year.
Lara is a left-wing boxer with a superb skill, losing to the famous Avarez in 2014 with only a slight number of points, and he is also one of Avarez's most scrupulous opponents to date.
