Lightweight contender Sharif ‘The Lion’ Bogere (23-0, 15 KO’s) trains under the watchful eye of Kenny Adams inside of the Long Life Fit Gym in Las Vegas, Nevada ahead of his March 2nd meeting with Richard Abril (17-3-1, 8 KO’s).

 

With still a little over a month before the fight, Bogere could be seen sparring some rounds on Monday with undefeated Cuban Pedro Toledo (2-0) and featherweight Fransico “Frankie” Leal (17-6-3, 11 KO’s).

 

The Bogere-Abril match, taking place in New York, will be for the vacant WBA lightweight title and will be televised by Showtime.
