Due to the 33 years, Ndongeni 31 wins with three losses. The South African suffered his first setback at the hands of already former undisputed American lightweight champion Devin Haney in November 2019.
“Training went well, I’m in good shape. There are only a few days left before the fight in Serpukhov – I have to fight with a very experienced athlete from South Africa, who can also boast of being a punch boxer. Still in his statistics, the duel with Devin Haney draws particular attention to him. In my opinion, Ndongeni fought very well with Heini, this meeting went to the end. Before the fight with Haney, the South African boxer had no losses. Ndongeni is a very atypical boxer, we must fear him. And at the start of the fight, I will have to watch the actions of the South African. For me, the fight with Ndongeni is a very good experience. I look forward to this meeting.
The last time I fought was in March, and there was a slight break in my performance – in the summer, unfortunately, the fight was canceled. But I am happy to participate in such a prestigious tournament on August 26. And then, in a good scenario, I have a duel scheduled for September 8 in Chelyabinsk. But, I repeat, now all my thoughts are connected with the Battle of Serpukhov. I have the most serious attitude, I aim to show great boxing,” said Agrba, whose words “” were provided by the press service of the Russian Boxing Federation.
