Azerbaijan`s Mammadov to battle for WBF and WBCA Championship
Baku, February 2 AZERTAC
Azerbaijan"s first professional boxer Fariz Mammadov, fighting for SC Gabala, will come on the canvas of WBF and WBCA Championship, which is organized first-ever for Azerbaijan on this Saturday.
He will face Badru Lusambya from Uganda. Having been prepared to this match for a long time, Mammadov undertook an open training session just before talking to mass media. The Gabala hero says to reporters:
"My only target since 2001 is champion, and I have to hit this as I am on my way to end the keen of the last 15 years. I thank to my personal agent Yashar Niftaliyev who is always with me and I trusted him on my career for all the time. I also appreciate SC Gabala providing opportunity to reach to my achievement after 15 years. I believe in the word fortune favors the prepared. And I am convinced my fortune will work out.
I know Badru for 6 months. He is a left-hander that may make difficulty to opponents but I am sure it will be no difficult for me to win over him after 6 months of the preparations".
