SHOHJAHON ERGASHEV: REGIS PROGRAIS IS GETTING A LOT OF HYPE-I WILL CRUSH HIM!

By G. Leon

What’s the latest and greatest? When can we expect you back in the ring? All has been great! Winning the WBA international title has been incredible for me. My fight was televised on the main channel in Uzbekistan and the whole country saw my win. I am very proud of that experience and look forward to winning a World title very soon. My promoter is working on a fight for me in the summer time. I am currently training in Moscow where I have a huge fan base and would love to fight here and then on to a big fight in the US sometime in the fall.

GL: You’re fresh off your first distance fight in a ten rounder, now that you’ve gotten that experience under your belt who do you want to fight next?

Shohjahon Ergashev: It was a great learning experience for me. I have never been past 3 rounds in a pro fight but I train very hard, so going the distance in a ten round fight is going to make me a better all around fighter, and now I am going back to scoring exciting knockouts!

GL: Who do you like in the Danny Garcia-Shawn Porter fight?

SE: “I like Shawn Porter I think he is busier and slightly more athletic, but it’s a close one.”

GL: What about Devon Alexander-Andre Berto?

SE: “Good fight I give a slight edge to Berto.”

GL: Is there somebody out there you feel would be a great fight for you to take your career to the next level? I’d like some names please.

SE: “I am ready to fight the best! I would fight Regiris Prograis. He is getting a lot of hype as the best one around, I would crush him! Any of the champions Relikh, Traynovskiy, Hooker. I would fight any of the top names in the division. I will let my promoter line them up.”

GL: Closing thoughts?

SE: “I look forward to finishing off a big year, fighting in the summer and then coming back to train in Detroit which has become my second home. Stay tuned and thank you for your coverage.”
