On October 24, Xu Can officially signed and confirmed his contract for the second defending match, and he will accept the challenge of the current 18-win American boxing champion Manny Robes III (18-0, 8ko) in California on the morning of November 24, Beijing time. This is the first battle between Chinese and American boxers in history, and it is also the first time in the history of Chinese boxers that a gold belt defense battle is held in the United States.
Xu Can, the world boxing champion of the wba featherweight, is currently the only active world boxer in China. In January, Xu Can defeated WBA World Gold Belt owner Roxas in Houston, USA. In May this year, Xu Can completed his first world champion boxing title in his hometown of Fuzhou 6 rounds tko Japanese boxing champion Kubo Falconry.
American boxing champion Manny Robles III is 25 years old, the same age as Xu Can, and has a height of 170 cm arm span. He entered the professional boxing world at the age of 18 and has so far achieved an impressive record of 18 wins against 8 ko opponents, and is now ranked 4th in the world in the WBA, the highest ranking American boxer among all the challengers in the WBA.
Although Robles III only has a two-and-a-half-star rating and an international ranking of 74th in the world, which is lower than Xu Can's challenge of the four-star world boxing champion Rojas and the former world three-star boxing champion Kubo Hayabusa, but don't underestimate this opponent.
Roberts' father and coach, Robes II, is one of the most famous champion coaches in the world of boxing, was the coach of the American boxing national team, and later served as the head coach of many star boxers such as WBA/WBO/IBF heavyweight world champion "Little Fat" Ruiz, former WBO featherweight world champion Valdez, former wbo super juniorweight world boxing champion Magdaleino and many other star boxing champions.
Taught by his father, Roberts III showed a talent for boxing from an early age. Before entering the professional boxing world, Robles achieved dazzling results in his amateur career. After stepping into the professional boxing world, through his father's resources, Robles improved rapidly. In his last 5 games, he has won 3 ko and has defended his WBC-NABF North American Intercontinental Gold Belt twice in a row, in hot form.
The venue for this tournament, Golden Springs Resort, is the absolute home of Robles III. This is the ninth time he has played here, and four of his last five games have been held here. This means that on November 24, Xu Can can only comprehensively suppress his opponents in order to overcome the complex away factors on and off the field to successfully defend his title.
"Robles is very talented, he has a record of total wins, and this time he is playing in his hometown, and I know that his desire to win will be very strong." Xu Can said, "But since I can win this golden belt in the United States, I am confident that I will continue to defend my title in the United States, and I am not afraid to play away from home, let alone any opponent." Anyone who wants to take away my gold belt is delusional. ”
Pedro, the famous coach who guided Xu Can to win the world boxing championship, will once again serve as head coach. As early as August 15, the M23 team sent Xu Can to Miami, which means that he will have three months to prepare overseas, which is the most well-prepared in history. Head coach Pedro said that he will sculpt Xu Can's technology well during this period and have the confidence to make the "monster" evolve and upgrade.
On the day of the match, in addition to the Sino-AMERICAN battle between Xu Can and Robles, there will also be a WBA Super Featherweight World Boxing Champion Golden Belt Battle, with the defending champion Mexican boxer Cancio (21-4-2, 6ko) facing Nicaraguan boxer Avaredo (31-8, 20ko), which is also worthy of the attention of boxing fans.
