JAKARTA – The preparation of Indonesian boxer Daud Jordan to fight South Korean boxer Hwang Kil Kim has entered the practice match stage.
Daud makes preparations at his boxing gym in North Kayong, West Kalimantan. He also plans to undergo 140 rounds of sparring to prepare for his opponent on March 4, 2022.
"We continue to practice without stopping. I will continue to practice sparring until a total of 140 rounds later," said Daud as quoted by Antara.
David has a pretty tough mission against Kim. He must fight to defend his WBC Asian Boxing Council Silver Super Lightweight title in the 63.5 kilogram class.
However, the boxer who now serves as Chairman of the North Kayong Regency KONI admitted that the preparations he had made were quite mature. It was clearly able to boost his confidence in the mission to defend the title.
"Of course, this is very good preparation. Previously I had never prepared for up to 140 rounds. By doing longer preparations, we were more prepared," he said.
David has a total of 45 bouts throughout his professional boxing career. Of that amount he recorded pocketing 41 (29 KOs) of which ended in victory.
Meanwhile, Kim recorded 14 (8 KOs) wins and two defeats since making his professional debut on October 8, 2016.
"The opponent is quite tough and dangerous. But I am ready to be able to win the match later. Of course I ask for the support of all Indonesian people so that I can defend the title," said Daud.
The fight between Daud and Hwang will take place at the World Siam Stadium, Bangkapi, Bangkok, Thailand. In addition to the duel of Daud and Kim, Indonesian boxer Ongen Saknosiwi will also face Thailand's representative Rattakorn Tassaworn at the same place and date.
