Chris Kongo on Title Defence
‘I’m very excited, this is a fight that I’ve wanted for a long time,’ said Chris Kongo. ‘He )Michael McKinson) was saying that he was far ahead of me, but now I’ve got the belt, the tables have turned.”
‘Michael has said he’s the most avoided, but I know I’m the most avoided, so we have to make it happen. The two most dangerous fighters in the division ’“ we’re both getting it on now ’“ so it’s a big fight.
‘It’s not, can I solve ’˜The Problem?’” Chris Kongo continued. “I will solve ’˜The Problem’ on March 6, guaranteed. In the Luther Clay fight, I said before it, someone is going to go down, and I definitely know it’s not me. Same way someone is going to go down in this fight, and it’s definitely not me again.”
Kongo finished by saying that he is going to get an explosive win. ‘It’s going to be an explosive win for me. This is what we train for, this is what we work for. I want the big risk fights. If you don’t take risks in life, you won’t get anywhere, so it’s all about taking another risk in my career.’
