On August 11 the draw took place for the weight class 67-71 kg in which there are 3 boxers. In the semi-finals of Elite male -71 on August 25 Raekwon Baas won Tahier Wilson by unanimous decision
In Elite male -75 there was no opponent for Jaydon “The Beast” Dania (AA Boxing) and that is why he is taking on a big challenge. With only 10 amateur boxing bouts, he will compete against Venezuelan professional boxer Keiber Zapata “El peligro” Gonzalez with a professional record of 19 pro-fight, all 19 wins and therefore no losses. As an amateur, Gonzalez who currently lives in Curacao and trains at Supreme Boxing Centre has done 50 or 60 bouts. So many that he can’t remember the number.
Yet Jaydon “the Beast” is far from without a chance given his victories this year in the Netherlands and Sint Maarten, his bout against the multiple champion from Germany and his sparring match with Tony Jas.
This fight promises to be a true spectacle just like the other fights.
