Alain Babich (11-0, 10 KOs), ranked first in the WBC rating, promptly responded to information about the end of the current champion's career Oscar Rivas (28-1, 19 KOs).
"If that's the case, I want my championship shot." I am a "silver" champion, and I have waited long enough. I'm ready!" the Croatian wrote on Instagram.
“I only boxed once this year and I want to fight! This is the purpose of my life. I have to fight, the latest reports say a fight in February, but nothing is confirmed yet, I hope the gods will appreciate my sacrifice.
Oscar Rivas quickly denied the earlier news of his retirement, but the fact is that the Colombian has not defended the belt since October 2021, and even if he wants to continue boxing, but cannot for health reasons, he may lose the title due to inactivity.
