Boasting a professional record of 30 wins and 3 losses, Gamboa lost his last fight against Gervonta Davis via knockout and hasn’t appeared in the ring since then.
That said, he can re-enter the lightweight title tale by defeating Devin Haney for the WBC strap on November 7. Apart from being the WBC lightweight champion, Gamboa can also become the first boxer to beat Haney. Thus, he has a bright opportunity to restructure his boxing career ahead.
Despite coming off from a loss, Gamboa believes that he has shown his caliber against Gervonta Davis in his last fight. He also believes that God is always with him, vowing to shock the world when he sets foot against ‘The Dream.’
Yuriorkis Gamboa is confident about beating Devin Haney
The 38-year-old has recently connected with The Ring to talk about his lightweight run and upcoming fight. He considers himself to be one of the top-guys of the division, citing a fight against Haney as “a well-earned opportunity.”
Talking about it, Gamboa said, “I think it’s a well-earned opportunity. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated I am a top fighter. My last fight against Davis, I showed I am a true warrior. I come to fight no matter who it is.”
He added, “I don’t think about my opponent, I’m just training hard. Devin is a strong fighter. I know what I have to do, and I would rather not share that. God is with me. He will give me strength to face anyone in the ring. My trust is in God.”
Meanwhile, his manager has also entered the mix and said, “Gamboa’s ready. Everyone is expecting him to lay down and be walked over, but he’s coming to fight. He’s coming for that title.”
The WBC lightweight title fight will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida, USA. The 12-round main event battle will determine the WBC lightweight champion, with several alluring matchups for the winner ahead.
