The Ukrainian defeated the Spaniard Jon Martinez by technical knockout
Ukrainian featherweight boxer Arnold Khegai (21-1-1, 13 KOs) spoke about his victory over the Spaniard Jon Martinez.
“Overall, I’m happy with this fight. It is clear that the opponent was not of my level, but I had a pause between fights, I was offered this opponent less than a month before the fight, and I agreed.”
“The duel went well, I felt the ring, I could have finished earlier, but I decided to move on. In the second round I hit, knocked down, realized that I could finish, but decided to move on, and in the third I already hit and started finishing.”
The match in Barcelona took place with a clear advantage of the Ukrainian. Khegai defeated his 36-year-old opponent by technical knockout in the third round.
Previously, the team of Khegay, who heads the WBO featherweight rankings, was in negotiations about a possible fight with Robeisy Ramirez. However, the Cuban lost the WBO title in a fight against Rafael Espinosa in December.
