Another world title clash has been added to the ambitious September 13th Don King Productions show at the Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi, with the IBF bantamweight championship. Ghana's King Kong Agbeko (25-1, 22 KOs) makes his mandatory defense against #1 contender William "Chirizo" Gonzalez (21-2, 19 KOs) from Managua, Nicaragua.
Training for his WBC final featherweight championship elimination, Elio "The Kid" Rojas, the exciting Dominican fighting out of Brooklyn, N.Y., easily made the 10% 30-day weigh-in limit required by the WBC.
Rojas, 19-1 (13 KOs) is the WBC's No.2 contender and is facing Mexico's No.1 ranked veteran Hector Velasquez 50-11-2 (35 KOs) training at the King Training Camp in Orwell, Ohio, was weighed Friday by Dr. Michael J. Namey and scaled in at 134 punds, well under the maximum allowance of 138.6, 10% of the featherweight limit of 126 pounds. One week before the bout, they will have to be within 5% of the contract weight.
"I feel great," said the young Dominican. "I've got a new training team around me and we're working with a purpose. This will be me that much closer to my deream of being a world champion."
