Badou Jack

By Scott Gilfoid: This Friday on April 24th, WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell (27-0-1, 22 KOs) will be performing on Spike TV on Premier Boxing Champions against the eager #8 WBC challenger Badou Jack (18-1-1, 12 KOs) at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Illinois.

This fight has the makings of an exciting affair as long as it lasts. Jack, 31, is getting his first and possibly his last shot at a title, and he wants to make sure that he makes the most of it. If Dirrell knocks Jack out like a lot of boxing fans see happening, then it’s possible that Jack will never get another world title shot.

It’s going to be a good fight for as long as it lasts because Jack is one of those types of fighters who is willing to go out on his shield. He’s looked really good in his last two fights in beating Francisco Sierra and Jason Escalera. He came out swinging in both of those fights and put a real hurting on them in the process of picking up the victories.
