Chris Colbert was initially disenchanted when he acquired the information. After nearing the tip of an extended and arduous coaching camp, the Brooklyn, New York native was knowledgeable that Yuriokis Gamboa was not capable of compete in opposition to him attributable to accidents.

Whereas the present WBA 130 pound interim belt holder was initially pissed off, he was relieved as soon as he was notified that Tugstsogt Nyambayar, could be shifting up in weight to interchange Gamboa on the Dignity Well being Sports activities Park, in Carson California, afterward tonight.

The flamboyant and ever-so cocky Colbert was appreciative of the Mongolian native. However, contemplating the time-frame that he was given to arrange, Colbert believes that Nyambayar, or anybody else positioned in an identical circumstance, has completely no likelihood in opposition to him.

“No person on the planet can take a struggle in opposition to me on every week and a half discover,” stated Colbert throughout a current press conferee. I don’t give a rattling who you is.”

For Nyambayar, his willingness to maneuver up in weight and step in with such little time to arrange got here as considerably of a shock. After failing to win a featherweight world title in opposition to Gary Russell Jr. in February of 2020, Nyambayar (12-1, 9 KOs) bounced again from his first profession defeat seven months later handy beforehand undefeated prospect Cobia Breedy his first blemish.

Now, with the prospect to make it two in a row in opposition to undefeated fighters, Nyambayar seen a matchup in opposition to Colbert (15-0, 6 KOs) as a can’t miss alternative, regardless of the brief timeframe to arrange.

But, the New Yorker is incredulous at any time when Nyambayar says he’ll choose up the win. All through the historical past of boxing, a few of the unlikeliest of situations have taken place. James “Buster” Douglas shocked the world over 30 years in the past when he stopped the seemingly invincible former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Simply two years in the past, Andy Ruiz Jr. additionally took a brief discover struggle in opposition to unified heavyweight titlist Anthony Joshua and proceeded to drop and ultimately cease him.

Nonetheless, Colbert may be very conscious of historical past however with that, he stands firmly behind his perception {that a} loss in opposition to Nyambayar afterward tonight is solely unfeasible.

“One factor for positive and two issues for sure, I do know rattling nicely he ain’t beating me. That’s a promise. Count on a dominating efficiency. It received’t be shut and don’t be stunned if I cease him. No approach I’m dropping to him, it’s not possible.”
