russian boxer Khariton Agrba after defeating the former WBA and IBF junior welterweight champion Jules Indongo of Namibia admitted that he intended to meet only strong opponents, so as not to deteriorate.
On Saturday in Ekaterinburg, at the RCC Boxing Promotions tournament, Agrba knocked out Indongo in the third round, who fought in 2017 for the title of absolute world champion against American Terenes Crawford. Indongo is also known for his victory in 2016 over the Russian Eduard Troyanovsky, in this fight the African took the IBF belt from the Russian. Indongo, 39, has seven losses in 24 fights.
— I wasn’t tired, because I had excellent preparation: the first stage in Saint Petersburg, the second in Moscow. I know my job and I did everything I wanted. Now it remains to move on – to big names, to new victories. The opponent is very clumsy, and we knew that from the start, as soon as the name of the opponent was announced, so in the training camp we tried to train with fighters of the same style. What came out of it, you saw for yourself today. It’s good that I kept the zero on file. But now, I want to box only with strong fighters in order to reveal myself, and not to degrade myself. The stronger the opponent, the better I box,” Agrba told reporters.
