Sergiy Dzinziruk Talks Kermit Cintron Fight, Paul Williams
By Ruslan Chikov
In a conversation with Bleak, undefeated WBO junior middleweight champion Sergiy Dzinziruk confirmed a recent report on BoxingScene.com, which discussed a possible fight between Dzinziruk and former champion Kermit Cintron for early 2011. Dzinziruk says the fight could take place in February or March of next year.
Sergei, is Kermit Cintron a good option?
"It's very good. He's a well-known fighter in America. Cintron's nickname - 'The Killer' - speaks for itself. In 2008, Kermit was a world champion at welterweight but he lost his title to Mexican Antonio Margarito. In his last fight in May of this year, Cintron lost a controversial decision to Paul Williams. I have not signed a contract yet but the fight is tentatively scheduled for February or March of next year"
"Honestly, I want to enter the ring quickly. Over the past two years, I've only had two fights. And that is very low. I have been itching in anticipation of a good fight."
— Speaking of Paul Williams, last year there was talk that you were going to face him. Why did the fight never take place?
- First of all, I was offered as humiliating sum for a reigning world champion. I would have flown with my championship belt to America and fought for a 100 thousand dollars. And the American broadcaster HBO, which was the main donor to the fight, was not enthusiastic about my candidacy. The TV bosses said 'Dzindziruk is not well known in America.'
