Ukrainian boxer Ivan Redkach (20-4-1, 16 KOs) says he is not going to finish his career in the nearest future. "Since I lost the two last battles, everyone thought that I already quit, thought that is not true. There are a lot of different boxing analysts who say that Redkach is already ended his career. But I became even stronger, more experienced and entertaining.

“I was condemned with the first defeat. It was a close fight. After the second defeat, again, I wanted a rematch with John Molina, but he refused. We suggested three times. But I made conclusions that I need to go further, boxing does not stop.

“I feel excitement inside, because this is a great show, and I have to show myself only on the good side. In this camp I worked on speed, endurance, and I have a punch. We do intend to knock him out, so the fight will be excellent.

“Please, fans from Ukraine, support me, believe in me. I will definitely come to Ukraine with the championship belt, it's only a matter of time," Redkach said.

On June 10 Redkach will fight in Los Angeles against American Brian Jones.
