Something big is coming - Ambunda
Paulus 'El Jesus' Ambunda says in a month's time he will step into the ring to yet again showcase what he is made of.
Paulus 'El Jesus' Ambunda is not showing any signs of slowing down, as he gears up to step into the ring sometime in May against a yet-to-be-announced opponent.
Ambunda, who is a triple world champion, was initially scheduled to square off against Singaporean Muhamad Ridhwan at the end of this month at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, but the fight was postponed to July.
Ambunda, who is signed with Ringstar Boxing under the leadership of founder and CEO Scott O'Farrell, and Ridhwan are to contend for the World Boxing Council's silver featherweight title.
IBO super bantamweight title holder, Ambunda, said before that fight takes place his camp is planning on setting up a fight which will be big.
He, however, remained tight-lipped about where this fight will take place.
“I'm in top shape and training is going very well, so I can't wait,” Ambunda said.
He last fought in September when he outclassed Ridhwan in his own backyard, winning their title fight with a split decision.
Ridhwan fought on Saturday but lost to Cris Leon from the Philippines. Leon proved to be a tough nut to crack for Ridhwan and earned a split-decision victory in their featherweight six-rounder.
This is yet another glitch on the boxer's road to redeeming himself, after Ambunda beat him in September last year.
“Some things in life just don't make sense. Got reminded again how life makes its own decisions, whether I like it or not. Just like how I lost a fight that I won. But still, I'm sorry Singapore,” Ridhwan wrote on his Facebook page.
Ridhwan is to fight in the Philippines in May to keep him primed for the Ambunda rematch.
