Carlos Tamara Hungers To Regain The World Crown

By Jhonny Gonzalez

Former world champion Carlos Tamara (22-6-1, 16KOs) of Colombia is preparing hard for his upcoming flyweight eliminator for the IBF's number two position in the rankings. Tamara will face the deadly Ricardo Nunez (23-2, 19KOs) on April 26th at the Arena Roberto Duran in Panama City.

The winner of the eliminator will get a few steps closer to fighting with the IBF's flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane of South Africa.

"This fight presents the opportunity to secure a new world championship and to be in the forefront again," Tamara said. "My dream is to regain a world title and to keep it for a long time. After the last fight I had in Mexico, it took five months to find a new opportunity and I'm hoping not to waste [this chance, and] then I'll go for the title of Moruti Mthalane in South Africa."
