“According to IBF, the boxer wants to keep a professional boxing championship at the continental level with the upper stage within 3 months. Dinh Hong Quan is no exception. It is expected that in July, Quan will continue to protect the belt and towards the next goals,” said the representative of Cocky Buffalo Club. Thethao.vn.
At the age of 24, Dinh Hong Quan is the fifth Vietnamese boxer winning a professional boxing championship. In the match against Philippine opponent Delmar Pellio in April, Quan won convincingly by calculating the point in the match lasting 10 rounds. Shortly thereafter, he said that his immediate goal was to protect the Asian IBF belt.
The victory over Delmar Pellio helps Dinh Hong Quan in the top 250 world punches in the Lightweight weight class. This ranking did not completely reflect the capabilities of Quan, because he did not play much for the past 2 years because of Covid-19 translation. The achievement of the current troops is 10 matches, winning 8 (4 matches), 1 loss and 1 draw.
The Cocky Buffalo side said that at the present time, they have not been able to provide accurate information about the next opponent who will play with Dinh Hong Quan. Previously, Quan used to fight with fighters from Thailand, the Philippines and South Korea, so this could continue to be the choice for the army's management club.
In addition to Dinh Hong Quan, Cocky Buffalo also has two other notable Vietnamese boxers, Nguyen Thi Thu Nhi and Minh Phat. Thu Nhi is the first Vietnamese boxer to win a world professional boxing belt, and Minh Phat used to have the opportunity to compete for the WBO Oriental belt, the minimum weight class. In addition to professional competition, the two boxers also played amateur boxing for Can Tho delegation.
