Panamanian assassin Ammeth Diaz says he will emulate fellow countryman and all-time great Roberto Duran and go on to win a World title if he beats Brit Martin Gethin.
Diaz takes on Gethin at Walsall Town Hall on Friday 31st May in an IBF World Lightweight Title Eliminator with the winner getting a shot at reigning champion Miguel Vazquez.
The fight will be televised live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/****** Ch. 546).
“Hands of Stone” Duran, arguably the greatest lightweight boxer of all time, was famed for his ferocity in the ring, endless stamina and relentless punching style. He beat Scotland’s Ken Buchanan to win the WBA World Lightweight title in 1972, making 11 title defences - all bar one by knockout - before unifying the WBC title in 1978 against Esteban De Jesus.
