Josh Kelly Is Up To Challenge Newbie WBO Junior Middleweight Champion Xander Zayas IF He’s Given The Opportunity to Fight Him Next. Kelly (17-1-1, 9 kos) is ranked # 3 wbo, and one of the potential opponents that see Zayas (22-0, 13 cos) to Make His First Defense Of His Wbo title.
Last Month, Xander Captured The Vacant WBO 154-LB Title, Beating Jorge Garcia A 12-round Unanimous Decision on July 26th in New York City. Kelly Believes That Xander Got A “Gift” By Being Able to Fight Garcia for The Vacant Belt.
“I Believe in Britain. I’m the Best Moment in My Weight Class (154). I’m Need a Breakout Fight One of Those Guys To Take To Show Myself,” Said Josh Kelly TalkSport Boxing. “I’m Sure,” Said Kelly When Asked If He Has Become The Wo Mandatory for 154-LB Champion Xander Zayas to Fight Him. “
The UK ISN’t Well represented at 154 right now. So, Kelly Isn’t Saying Much When He’s The Best In The UK. He Should Aim A Little Higher Than. There are A Lot Of Talented Fighters in The Division That Would Him As Food, But Xander Isn’t One of Them. He’s Easily The Weakest Link Among The Champions at Junior Middleweight. Most, IF Not All, Of The Top Five Contenders Have More Talent Than Zayas and Would Likely Troounce Him IF TOOK TOOK HIM Out of Protection Mode.
Can Kelly Dethrone Champion Xander Zayas?
“Zayas Was Calling Mon Not Long Back. I Think He’s A Great Talent. He’s Lacks Experience, And I Think I’m Him to Take Him to Place Hime Before Before,” Said Kelly. ” In Terms of Styles, I Think I’m Eventually Be Able to Him On His Head. I stand on that 100%. “
A potential 50-50 Zayas-Kelly Fight
Zayas-Kelly Would Be A 50-50 Fight. As Bad As Xander Loked Against Jorge Garcia, Kelly has got a Heck of Beating Him. The 22-year-old Zayas Loked Flawed and Utterly Beatable Against Garcia. Top rank’S matchmakers obviously know That He’s Someone Who Protected From Anyone Halfway Decent in The 154-LB Ranks. Kelly is Beatable As well, and the matchmakers Might Feel Enough to Allow Xander to Fight Him, Provided The Contest is Staged on His Home Turf in Puerto Rico.
“HE’S 22 Young. He got a bit of a gift (Jorge Garcia). I’m Chasing titles. I’m the big fingernums that I’ve got a World title. Come get me now. I don’t chase Him. He’ll Be Chasing Me, “Said Kelly When Asked If He’ll Go After Conor Ben After He Dethrons Xander Zayas. “There’s Never be a World Champion from Sunderland.”
Top rank is Likely to Wait Until They Find a New Broadcast Platform Before They Let Xander Defend His WBO 154-LB title. Kelly, 31, Would Be Him Because Thy’re Not Going To Throw The Inexperienced Like Puncher Zayas To The Wolves Right Wolves Without Him to Milk The Belt.
Josh isn’t a puncher either. So, they’ll Look In His Direction Before Letting Him Get Anywhere Near WBC Champion Sebastian Fundora or Ibf Champ Bakhram Mudrazaliev.
