Release: July 17, 2019 By Dragon Fire Boxing – Steve Gago takes a step up in
class as he clashes with former Kazak amateur standout Nursultan Zhangabayev on
the undercard of Tim Tszyu vs Dwight Ritchie on August 14 in Sydney, Australia.
The
pair will dispute the WBO Global, IBF Pan Pacific (currently held by Gago) and
WBA International title (currently held by Zhangabayev) in a fight that could
most definitely steal the show in Sydney next month.
The
pair enter the contest with also having undefeated records on the line and
Perth's Gago, whose record currently stands at 11-0 with 4 stoppages opened up
about being given the opportunity to crash into multiple governing bodies world
ratings.
Gago
said, "Firstly I have to massively thanks my manager Tony Tolj for getting
me this massive opportunity on a big show. against a top-class talent in
Zhangabayev. These are the fights you get into boxing for and I am delighted
that I am getting an opportunity like this at this stage in my professional
career.
"Zhangabayev
is a top-quality fighter, I am fully aware of his capabilities but we are
putting in the work in camp to pull off what some people may think is an upset,
but I don't believe it will be a shock at all when I emerge victorious on
August 14."
Gago's
manager Tony Tolj added, giving his take on the high-risk clash for both
fighters in Sydney this coming August.
The Perth based
manager, who also manages world-rated twins Andrew and Jason Moloney stated,
"It's a massive fight as there is a lot on the line. The winner will move
into three governing bodies world ratings potentially and that is a massive
incentive for both fighters.
"The pair are
explosive fighters who both come to put on a show so I believe it's going to be
a great contest and for me, the loser can come back and be only 12 months
behind the winner when it comes to career progression. These are the type of
fights boxing fans want to see and I'm delighted to have been able to
contribute to making such a quality fight that I believe my man Steve Gago will
emerge victoriously."
